Will Government be liable to pay compensation, if the requirement of Section 70 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 are fulfilled? Explain.
Answer & Explanation:
Section 70 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 enables a person who actually supplies goods or renders some services not intending to do gratuitously, to claim compensation from the person who enjoys the benefit of the supply made or services rendered. Section 70 is not based on any subsisting contract between the parties but is based on quasi-contract. If the requirements of Section 70 are fulfilled even the Government becomes liable to pay compensation for the work actually done or services rendered by the State.
