1-What are the legal remedies available to Mc Dowell and company Ltd in this case?

Both the buyer and the seller, Mr Dowell and Mr Garg, were in a tough situation because
they had no idea the car had been stolen. This is a question that concerns both of them. Mr.
Garg accidentally purchased a car from a guy with the registration number (DLSCB-310).
Which was taken and sold to "McDowell's firm."

 Mr. Garg took 3790000 Rs. as a condition of the contract sale. And Mc Dowell's business
took possession and ownership of the car. Because the contract has been fulfilled, this
transaction will be governed by the Sale of Goods Act of 1930.
 Section 27 of the Sale of Goods Act of 1930 states that if a person who does not have the
permission to sell a good sell it and the buyer buys it (in our case a car) he must pay the
price even if he acted in good faith.
 Under the implied condition of Section 14 of the Sale of Goods Act, one must have clear
title to sell the goods and no concerns with the title of goods.
 Moreover, under the implicit warranty, i.e., "Warranty as to undisturbed possession of
section 14(2), the buyer shall enjoy the uninterrupted possession" of section 14(2), the
buyer shall enjoy the uninterrupted possession of goods covered by the implied warranty.
 Police have now taken control of the car from Mc Dowell, which has been charged with
violating section 14(2) of the Sale of Goods Act. Because Mr. Garg was not the legal
owner of the car, the contract became void. In this scenario, Mc Dowell's firm can sue
Mr. Garg for damages and obtain the money back, including interest and charges, to make
up for any losses experienced by Mc Dowell and Co.
 Under the sale of goods act 1930, Rights against breach of contract are-
 Suit for damages (1)
 Suit for price (2)
 Suit for specific performance (3)
 Suit for breach of warranty (4)
 Suit for interest (5)
 Repudiation of contract before due date (6)
 McDowell's company can use rights 1, 2, 4, and 5, as well as section 14 breach of
contract, to win the case against Mr. Garg (Seller).
