The Indian Contract Act, 1872 is the cornerstone of commercial and civil contractual relations in India, governing the formation, performance, and enforcement of contracts. This 2025 updated edition, published by Law & Justice Publishing Co., presents the Bare Act with comments, offering clear and authoritative guidance on the principles of contract law.
The Act lays down fundamental provisions relating to valid contracts, free consent, consideration, capacity of parties, contingent contracts, performance, breach, compensation, and remedies. It also comprehensively covers special contracts, including indemnity, guarantee, bailment, pledge, agency, and partnership-related concepts (to the extent applicable).
This edition is updated in light of the Mediation Act, 2023, reflecting the growing importance of alternative dispute resolution in contractual disputes. To enhance practical utility, the book includes model forms such as agreements between principal and agent, agreement to sell, and settlement agreements. The text is further enriched with Supreme Court guidelines, landmark judgments, quick view law charts, important tips, legal maxims, and legally defined words and phrases.
