Doctrine of Privity of Contract and of Consideration- Its Exceptions

  The Indian Contract Act clearly states that there cannot be a stranger to a contract. What does this exactly mean? And are there any exceptions? This is explained through the Doctrine of Privity of a Contract. Let us see. Doctrine of Privity of Contract The Indian Contract Act. 1872, allows the ‘ Consideration ‘ for an agreement to proceed from a third-party.
