Consent
Consent, an act of reason accompanied with delib-erations, the mind weighing, as in a balance, the good or evil on either side. Consent supposes three things-a physical power, a mental power, and a free and serious use of them. Hence it is that if consent be obtained by intimidation, force, meditated impositions, circumvention, surprise, or undue influence, it is to be treated as a delusion, and not as a deliberate and free act of the mind.

United Industrial Bank Ltd., AIR 1954 SC 181: (1954...
