1.Analyse the position of a  Contract made with or by minor. Can a minor be
beneficiary or can take benefit out of a contract.

According to the Indian Majority Act, 1875, the age of majority in India is indicated
as 18 years. Indeed, even a day shy of the predetermined age of entering in a contract
excludes the person from being a party to it. Any individual, domiciled in India, who
has not accomplished the age of 18 years, is alluded to as a minor.

A minor is a person who has not achieved the age of 18 years and the accomplishing
majority for each contract is a basic condition point of reference. According to Indian
law, minor's understanding stands void, which implies that it has no stand at all
according to the law. So a contract with minor stands null and void since either party
can not force it. Furthermore, even after the individual accomplishes majority, a
similar understanding can't be approved by him. The distinction here is that a minor's
contract is void/null; So a contract notwithstanding, it isn't illicit as there is no legal
arrangement on this.

A Contract made with a Minor is Void

Since any contract with a minor, that is an individual under 18 years old can't
contract, so any minor arrangement which has been shaped is void abdominal muscle
initio (from the earliest starting point).

A Minor could be a recipient of a contract

In spite of the fact that a minor isn't qualified towards entering a contract, he could be
the recipient of one. Segment 30 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, likewise
expresses that while a minor can't turn into an accomplice in the organization firm,
the advantages of the firm could be reached out towards him. So a contract with
minor can be taken forward for his/her own advantage.

Anyway a minor isn't skillful to frame a contract, nothing in the Contract Act
prevents him from making the other party bound to the minor. Accordingly, a
promissory note executed sufficiently for a minor isn't void and could be sued upon
by him. A minor isn't permitted to turn into an accomplice in an organization firm.
Yet, an underage individual may with the assent, all things considered, be admitted to
the advantages of an organization.

A Minor must get the advantage of being a Minor

Regardless of whether a minor mistakenly speaks to himself as a significant just as

takes a credit or goes into a contract, he could argue minority. The standard of
estoppel doesn't matter to a minor. He could argue his minority with all due respect.

Where a minor erroneously mortgaged and sold a property, the Court thinks about
that at the example of a minor as the moneylender, and the buyer, both ought to be
repaid on scratch-off of such an arrangement.

Approval on accomplishing majority isn't allowed

As a minor's understanding is void, he was unable to approve it through sanction on

achieving majority. For instance, a minor obtains money and executes a promissory
note. On achieving majority, he outfits another promissory record in replacement of
the one actualized as a minor. The second promissory note is likewise void being
without thought. In any case, a person who supplies necessaries of life to a minor, or
to one whom the minor is will undoubtedly uphold as per his circumstance
throughout everyday life, is allowed to be repaid from the property of the minor, not
founded on any contract, yet on duty looking like a contract. Be that as it may, a
minor's property is lawfully liable for necessities, and no close to home obligation is
caused through him.

2.Discuss the position of unsound mind person making a contract.

Why the sound mind is important at the time of the contract is mentioned in section
12 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872. According to section 12, a person is required to
be of sound mind at the time of making a contract so that, he is capable of
understanding it and of forming a rational judgment as to its effect upon its interests.
The soundness of mind is required only at the time of making a contract. It is possible
that a person is usually of unsound mind, but occasionally of a sound mind, so he can
make a contract during lucid intervals, i.e., at such intervals when he is of sound
mind. Thus, a patient in a lunatic asylum, who is at intervals of sound mind, may
contract during those intervals.
The onus of proving unsoundness of mind of a person always rests upon him who
alleges such a state of mind of a person.
Another important thing to be noted in this aspect is that the parties should enter into
the contract with their free consent. According to section 14.
3.Discuss the position of a person who has been declared as insolvent making a
contract

Where a person is unable to pay his debts, the default debts in India give him freedom
from the harassment of debtors who may fail to meet his claim. Revenue rules also
provide equipment to satisfy all lenders. Based on the Roman Principle cession
bonorum which means to give the debtor all his property for the benefit of the debtors
for the protection of the court proceedings. Therefore if a person is unable to pay his
or her debts a claim for default can be brought to court by the debtor or debtor
The submission of a debtor's application is considered an act of default and the court
may make a judgment order. The court order releases the default on all current and
unpaid debts. When it is announced that you have paid your debts, the court appoints
a trustee or receiver, who will be responsible for the insolvency, which is divided into
debtors.
Debtors are no longer related to the property once a legal recipient has been found.
Under the law the debtor can therefore continue with the debt defaulter's procedures
to satisfy his or her claims by declaring the person as a debtor.
Section 102 of the Presidential Cities Act punishes a debtor who has not been
convicted of a debt of up to fifty rupees or more without informing that person that he
or she is not in debt.
Section 103 of the Presidency Towns Act and section 69 of the Provincial Payment
Act, 1920 punishes a debtor who commits fraud with intent to conceal the status of
his or her affairs or to thwart the purposes of this Act; destroys, seizes, alters or alters
the contents of books, papers, etc. which is subject to investigation under the rules.
Section 69 of the Provincial Payment Act, 1920 punishes a debtor who fails to
perform the duties set out in section 22 or to deliver any part of his or her property
which is classified by debtors under the Act and which he or she has.
