A Comparative Analysis of U.K. and Indian Provision relating to Intention under Law of Contract

Abstract- There is turmoil in the trade world as to intention to contract in India. The Indian contract Act was drafted way back in the year 1872 by the then British. U.K. had by that time experimented with many situations as to contract and due to this they had experience to share while drafting Indian Contract Act. They brought the doctrine of intention which formed an essential part of their law in our law, but the significance that was attached to their law on the subject was not carried to our law as the situation here was entirely different. Hence, the author here has tried to put this doctrine in the light of object of the framers of the law.
