    Which one is not the exception of Ex nudo pacto non

    oritio action'
    A Compensation for involuntary services Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Love & Affection Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Contract of Agency Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Gift Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    "Ex nudo pacto non oritur actio" means a contract without consideration is not enforceable, but there are exceptions to this rule under Section 25 of the Indian Contract Act, namely:

    • Natural love and affection (if written and registered)
    • Compensation for past voluntary services (involuntary/past services)
    • Promise to pay a time-barred debt
    • Completed gift
    • Agency contracts are also exceptions (no consideration needed for creation of agency).
    Since "Contract of Agency" is actually an exception to ex nudo pacto non oritur actio, it is not the correct answer to "which one is not the exception". The option that does not  fit as an “exception” is None of the above , because all listed (a-d) are exceptions.
