The problem consists of a set of rules and facts. Apply the specified rules to the set of facts and answer the question. In answering the following question, you should not rely on any rule(s) except the rule(s) that are supplied for every problem. Further, you should not assume any fact other than those stated in the problem. The aim is to test your ability to properly apply a rule to a given set of facts, even when the result is absurd or unacceptable for any other reason. It is not the aim to test any knowledge of law you may already possess.Rules :- A. The act of using threats to force another person to enter into a contract is called coercion. B. The act of using influence on another and taking undue advantage of that person is called undue influence. C. In order to prove coercion, the existence of the use of threat, in any form and manner, is necessary. If coercion is proved, the person who has been so threatened can refuse to abide by the contract. D. In order to prove undue-influence, there has to be a pre-existing relationship between the parties to a contract. The relationship has to be of such a nature that one is in a position to influence the other. If it is proven that there has been undue influence, the party who has been so influenced need not enforce the contract or perform his obligations under the contract. Facts : Ajay convinces Bandita, a girl aged 18 that she would sell her land to him. Bandita's mother Chaaru is her guardian. Nonetheless Bandita, without the permission of Chaaru, sells the land to Ajay for a total sum of rupees fifty lakh, paid in full and final settlement of the price. Chaaru challenges this transaction claiming the Bandita is a minor and hence the possession of the land shall not be given to Ajay. Thus Ajay is in a difficult situation and has no idea how to recover his money from Bandita.Chulbul is:
a. Justified in refusing to enforce the employment contract as Chulbul was coerced by Dhanraj.
b. Justified in refusing to enforce the employment contract as Baalu was complicit in the coercive act

The government has only five rescue helicopters with a maximum capacity of 50 people (excluding pilots and requisite soldiers) and these helicopters can fly only once in 24 hours to such altitudes. As the Air Force gets ready to send the helicopters, an emergency hearing is convened in the Supreme Court to challenge this measure as this would leave 50 people to die.If you were the judge required to apply Rule A, you would decide that:
a. As many lives must be saved as possible.
b. If everyone cannot be rescued, then everyone must be left behind.
c. A measure cannot be upheld at the cost of 50 lives.
d. It must be left to those who are trapped to decide if they want half amongst them to be saved and leave the rest to die.

Lucky asked Indira if he should clear away the pile of old newspapers, to which she said yes, Lucky took the pile to a municipality rubbish dump. While Lucky was sorting and throwing away the newspapers, he was very surprised to find a beautiful painting in between two sheets of paper. He thought that Indira probably wouldn't want this old painting back, especially because it was torn in several places and the colour was fading. He took the painting home, mounted it on a wooden frame and hung it on the wall of his bedroom. Unknown to him, the painting was an old 'masterpiece, and worth twenty thousand rupees. Before mounting the painting, Lucky pasted it on a plain sheet of paper so that it does not tear any more. By doing so, he made its professional 'restoration very difficult and thereby reduced its value by half. Lucky's neighbour Kamala discovered that the painting belonged to Indira. With the motive of returning the painting to Indira, Kamala climbed through an open window into Lucky's room when he was away one afternoon and removed the painting from his house.If Lucky had discovered the painting before leaving Indira's house rather than at the rubbish dump, would he have been guilty of theft in this case?
a. Yes, he would be guilty of theft of the newspapers and the paintings.
b. No, he would not be guilty of theft.
c. Yes, he would be guilty of theft of the painting.

If a moveable thing is attached to the land or any building on the land, then it becomes a 'fixture'.C. If a moveable thing is placed on land with the intention that it should become an integral part of the land or any structure on the land it becomes a fixture. Facts : Khaleeda wants to sell a plot of land she owns in Beghmara, Meghalaya and the sale value decided for the plot includes the fully-furnished palatial six-bedroom house that she has built on it five years ago. She sells it to Gurpreet for sixty lakh rupees. After completing the sale, she removes the expensive Iranian carpet which used to cover the entire wooden floor of one of the bedrooms. The room had very little light and Khaleeda used this light-coloured radiant carpet to negate some of the darkness in the room. Gurpreet, after moving in, realizes this and files a case to recover the carpet from Khaleeda. Assume that in the above fact scenario, Khaleeda no longer wants the carpet. She removes the elaborately carved door to the house after the sale has been concluded and claims that Gurpreet has no claim to the door. The door in question was part of Khaleeda's ancestral home in Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu for more than 150 years before she had it fitted as the entrance to her Baghmara house.As a judge you would decide in favour of
a. Gurpreet because when the price was agreed upon, Khaleeda did not inform her about removing the carpet.
b. Gurpreet because the carpet was integral to the floor of the bedroom and therefore attached to the building that was sold.
c. Khaleeda because a fully-furnished house does not entail the buyer to everything in the house.
d. Khaleeda because by virtue of being a carpet it was never permanently fixed to the floor of the building.

b. Gurpreet because the door is an integral part of the building as it is attached to it.
c. Khaleeda because the door can be removed from the building and is therefore not attached to it.
d. Gurpreet because the contract is explicitly for the whole house and since the door is part of house, it cannot be removed subsequent to the sale.

The aim is to test your ability to properly apply a rule to a given set of facts, even when the result is absurd or unacceptable for any other reason. It is not the aim to test any knowledge of law you may already possess.Rules :- A. An owner of land has the right to use the land in any manner he or she desires. The owner of land also owns the space above and the depths below it. B. Rights above the land extend only to the point they are essential to any use or enjoyment of land. C. An owner cannot claim infringement of her property right if the space above his or her land is put to reasonable use by someone else at a height at which the owner would have no reasonable use of it and it does not affect the reasonable employment of his or her land. Ramesh's Case : Ramesh owns an acre of land on the outskirts of Sullurpeta, Andhra Pradesh. The Government of India launches its satellites into space frequently from Sriharikota, near Sullurpeta. The Government of India does not deny that once the satellite launch has traveled the distance of almost 7000 kilometres it passes over Ramesh's property. Ramesh files a case claiming that the Government of India has violated his property rights by routing its satellite over his property, albeit 7000 kilometers directly above it. Shazia's Case : Shazia owns a single storeyed house in Ahmedabad which has been in her family for more than 75 years. The foundation of the house cannot support another floor and Shazia has no intention of demolishing her family home to construct a bigger building. Javed and Sandeep are business partners and own three storey houses on either side of Shazia's house. Javed and Sandeep are also Ahmedabad's main distributors for a major soft drinks company. They have erected a huge hoarding advertising their products, with the ends supported on their roofs but the hoarding also passes over Shazia's house at 70 feet and casts a permanent shadow on her terrace. Shazia decides to hoist a huge Indian flag, going up to 75 feet, on her roof. She files a case, asking the court to order Javed and Sandeep to remove the hoarding for all these reasons.Applying only Rule A to Ramesh's case, as a judge you would decide:
a. In favour of the Government of India because the transgression was at a height at which Ramesh could not possibly have any use for.
b. That ownership of land does not mean that the owner's right extends infinitely into space above the land.
c. In favour of Ramesh because he has the right to infinite space above the land he owns.
d. In favour of the Government of India because it would lead to the absurd result that Ramesh and most other property owners would have a claim against airline companies and other countries of the world whose satellites orbit the earth.

She files a case, asking the court to order Javed and Sandeep to remove the hoarding for all these reasons.Applying only Rule B to Shazia's case, you would decide in favour of:
a. Javed and Sandeep because Shazia can easily hoist a flag below 70 feet.
b. Shazia because she has the right to put her land to any use and the court cannot go into her intentions for hoisting a flag at 75 feet.
c. Shazia because she has the absolute right to the space above her land.
