Moot Court Exercise:

Analysis and Discussion of this case

1.The case presented involves a dispute between Sidd Mahesh, a music prodigy, and M/s. Sahir
& Sahir, a building constructor and infrastructure provider, over the construction of a
multi-purpose building with amenities. Sidd Mahesh entered into a contract with M/s. Sahir &
Sahir for the construction of the building, but the construction was left incomplete due to a lack
of funds and materials. Sidd Mahesh requested M/s. Sahir & Sahir to complete the construction
of the roof top pool, and promised to pay them as soon as his album was released.

2.The roof top pool was completed, but Sidd Mahesh's album turned out to be a flop, and he
was unable to pay M/s. Sahir & Sahir the amount owed to them.

3. Later on, M/s. Sahir & Sahir and Sidd Mahesh decided to alter the contract, and Sidd Mahesh
agreed to pay the debt through monthly installments.

4.However, Sidd Mahesh later claimed that the work done by M/s. Sahir & Sahir was not
performed as he had specified and that the material used was substandard.

5.Sidd Mahesh decided to dispose of his property without paying M/s. Sahir & Sahir. M/s. Sahir
& Sahir sent a legal notice to Sidd Mahesh, but he did not respond. M/s. Sahir & Sahir filed a
suit before the Civil Court of Sardam, seeking the repayment of the amount owed to them and
an injunction to restrain Sidd Mahesh from selling the property until the suit was disposed of.

The case raises several legal issues, including:

1.Was there a valid contract between Sidd Mahesh and M/s. Sahir & Sahir, and did they perform
their obligations under the contract?

2.Did Sidd Mahesh breach the contract by failing to pay the amount owed to M/s. Sahir & Sahir,
and did M/s. Sahir & Sahir have a right to seek legal remedy?

3.Did Sidd Mahesh have a legitimate claim of substandard work and material, and if so, how
should the court address this issue?

4.Was M/s. Sahir & Sahir entitled to an injunction restraining Sidd Mahesh from selling the
property until the suit was disposed of?

5.Did Sidd Mahesh have a legitimate reason for not performing at Ms. Asha Sahir's daughter's
birthday party, and was he released from his obligation to perform in exchange for the release of
his debt?
The issue in this moot court exercise :

1.Appears to be centered around the breach of contract between Sidd Mahesh, a minor, and
M/s. Sahir & Sahir, a building constructor and infrastructure provider, regarding the construction
of a multi-purpose building with amenities. ?

2.The main question at hand is whether Sidd Mahesh, as a minor, had the legal capacity to
enter into the contract and whether the contract was binding on him. Additionally, there are
issues related to the quality of construction, payment obligations, and the legal remedies
available to the parties involved.?
