A contract with a minor is void ab initio was held in

Solution

Contract Act- In the case of Mohori Bibee vs. Dharmodas Ghose the Privy Council expressly barred any person below the age of eighteen years to enter into a contract, and take major decisions in relation to the same. In Nash vs. Inman it was held that any contract with a minor is void and a minor may contract for necessaries but it will not be enforceable unless they are necessary for his life and he does not already have enough of it. If either of these things are disputed, the onus is on the plaintiff to prove them. Kedar Nath vs. Gorie Mohammad the Court held that an agreement without consideration is valid and binding if on the faith of the promise, the promisee takes definite steps in furtherance of the object. Damodar Murlidhar vs. Secretary of State of India it was that no one should be benefited at another's expense.
