It has completed its history of 144 years. The provisions of the Act and principles enshrined therein and the application of such principles by the courts to enormous and everchanging fact-situations constitute the body ofthe Law of Contract of the country. The court decisions provide the basic source material of development of this subject and also for finding outthe recenttrends, some ofthe important rulings of the period between the present and preceding editions are to be seen in the following areas of the subject: A contract means bilateral rela tions, not just only unilateral. But exceptionally, one of the parties may be given the right to do things unilaterally, e.g., a banker was given the right to appoint an arbitrator all by himself under the loan arrangement. This special position may beallowed to protectthe interest oflending bankers. An agreement entered into by the e-mail process has binding effect, though not signed by parties. Some new decisions have been delivered on withdrawal of bids. No bidder can insist that his bid should be accepted because it isthe lowest. All that he can say is that there should be no bias, and there should be fairness, in the decision-making process. The mere deposit of20 per cent ofthe bid amount doesnot make the bidder owner of the property. He has to wait for approval ofhisbid.Letters ofintentthatthe tenderwould beaccepted does nothave bindingeffect either way.Acontrac tor can beblacklisted onlybecauseofgravemisperformance ofthe contract, not because of his impropriety at the stage of bids or tenders. No binding obligation emergeson the part ofthe Government where the contract is in conflict with constitutional provisions. Where the owner of land had enjoyed considerable benefits after his land was freed from acqui sition and before it was transferred to the Government for school making purpose without price, he was not allowedto assail the transaction bysay ingthat itwas withoutconsideration.
