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. However, a stranger (third-party) to consideration is different from a stranger to a contract. The law does not allow a stranger to file a suit on the contract.

As per law, a contract is only enforceable when it is inclusive of the basic requirement of consideration. Consideration is defined as a promise to pay money, valuable things, or any other perk as discussed by the parties engaged in the contract or agreement. Where there is no consideration that is a nudum pactum, and hence such a contract is neither enforceable nor valid.   A nudum pactum might be made verbally or in writing. Since these agreements are unenforceable, they may not be pursued in court. This indicates that these agreements do not come under the categories of agreements that can lead to legal action. Such agreement may constitute a modification or exemption to an existing duty. The contract, on the other hand, is regarded as legitimate if it is sealed. Furthermore, some contracts,...

But legislative may deprive a person by making a law. ○ Maneka Gandhi vs. UOI, 1978 In this case, Hon’ble Supreme Court held that the protection of Article 21 is available not only against executive action but also against legislative.
