Bhai, whenever I order food from Zomato, I think of Section 23 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872
contract clat_pg intermediate law_vs_lifeYou know how sometimes you order food online and the delivery guy is like, "Sir, aapka order nahi mila, abhi tak." (Sir, your order is not available, yet.) Now, is that a breach of contract or what? Under Section 23, a contract is void if the consent of any party has been given under coercion, undue influence, or misrepresentation. Think about it, bhai - Zomato promised to deliver food, but they failed. So, they've breached the contract. But, in this case, the customer also gave his consent (by placing the order) under a mistake (thinking the food was available), which makes the contract voidable. Interesting, ne? Now, go impress your CLAT PG or AILET PG profs with this example!

Haan bhai, yeh bahut accha soch hai! Section 23 deals with the concept of 'free gift' and when a seller offers something extra, it's a gift, na? But what if the food is not delivered within the promised time? Zomato's T&Cs come into play, right? Great observation, keep thinking out-of-the-box, beta!
