Q4. Lalita invites Sharmila for dinner at her house on a Sunday. Sharmila hires a taxi and reaches
Lalita’s house at the appointed time, but Lalita fails to fulfill her promise. Can Sharmila recover
any damages from Lalita?

In this situation, Sharmila may not be able to recover damages from Lalita because there is no legally
binding contract between them. An invitation to dinner is generally considered a social or domestic
arrangement, and there is usually no intention to create legal relations.

Therefore, unless there is evidence that Lalita made a legally binding promise to Sharmila, such as
agreeing to pay for the cost of the taxi or making other specific arrangements, Sharmila would not
be able to recover damages for any losses incurred by her as a result of Lalita's failure to fulfill her
promise.

However, if Lalita had made specific arrangements with Sharmila, such as agreeing to pay for the taxi
or promising to provide a certain type of meal or service, and then failed to fulfill these promises,
Sharmila may have a legal claim for breach of contract. In this case, Sharmila would need to prove
that there was a legally binding agreement between them and that Lalita breached the terms of the
agreement, resulting in damages to Sharmila.
