WRITTEN ARGUMENTS
1. Whether the acceptance of a sum different than that in the contract was
valid and if it was then what was the effect of it on the original contract:-
● A contract for the purchase of kids wear garments was entered between R D
Parmanandka Pvt. Ltd. and Saptrangi Pvt. Ltd for the contract price of Rs.
6,00,000/-. Since this constitutes a valid contract, both the parties are bound to
perform their part of the contract and fulfil their promise.
● Both the buyer and the seller agreed on a payment schedule, wherein it was
decided that the buyer should pay the consideration amount on the date of
delivery of the clothes as specified in the terms of the contract.
● Soon it was realized by Saptrangi Pvt. Ltd that R D Parmanandka would be
unable to pay the remaining amount of Rs. 2,00,000/-. Saptrangi Pvt. Ltd
thereafter agreed with Parmananka Pvt. Ltd and was ready to accept Rs.
50,000/- instead of Rs. 2,00,000/- as per the agreed contract. In this view
Saptrangi Pvt. Ltd remitted a part of the consideration amount which was
payable by R D Parmanandka Pvt Ltd.
● Under Section 63 of The Indian Contract Act, 1872, a promisee can remit in
part, the performance of the promise made to him. Here, the acceptance of
Rs. 50,000/- was valid. Remission therefore means acceptance of a lesser
performance than what was actually due under the contract.The same has
also been explained by the Allahabad High Court in Siraj Nasreen v. Begum

and standard and therefore were of poor quality. In spite of notices being sent
to Saptrangi Pvt. Ltd. for the exchange of the remaining clothes, the goods
were not exchanged. Saptrangi Pvt. Ltd has breached the terms of the
contract by not exchanging the clothes which on inspection were found to be
poor and inferior quality. The supply of poor quality clothes is a breach of
contract under 16(1) of Sale of Goods Act, 1930. The same is explained by the
Kerala High Court in Eternit Everest Ltd. vs Abraham. 2
