[amp_mcq option1=”Written agreement” option2=”Oral agreement” option3=”Electronic agreement” option4=”None of the above ” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is (a) Written agreement.<\/p>\n
Section 85-A of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 states that “Where a party to a contract has made a written admission of the existence of the contract, the contract shall be presumed to exist and to be of the contents admitted.”<\/p>\n
This means that if one party to a contract has written down that the contract exists, the court will presume that the contract does exist and that it is of the contents that have been admitted.<\/p>\n
This presumption can be rebutted by evidence to the contrary, but it is a strong presumption and will often be enough to prove the existence of a contract.<\/p>\n
Option (b), Oral agreement, is incorrect because section 85-A only applies to written agreements.<\/p>\n
Option (c), Electronic agreement, is incorrect because section 85-A does not specifically mention electronic agreements. However, it is likely that the courts would apply the same presumption to electronic agreements as they do to written agreements.<\/p>\n
Option (d), None of the above, is incorrect because section 85-A does apply to written agreements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
