Consideration
Consideration. Any act of the promisee (the person claiming the benefit of an obligation) from which the promisor (the person burdened with the obligation) or a stranger derives a benefit or advantage, or any labour detriment or inconvenience sustained or suffered by the promisee at the request, express or implied, of the promisor. See Laythoarp v. Bryant, 3 Scott 250; 2 Wms. Saund 137 h; Currie v. Misa, (1875) LR 10 Exch 153.Consideration is one of the facts which the courts require as evidence of intention, (a) that a person intends his promise to be binding on him, or (b) that he intends to divest himself of a beneficial interest in property.

Adequate consideration, The condition regarding adequate consideration would not apply to a gift, as a gift is a transfer without consideration, Kumari Sonia Bhatia v. State of U.P., AIR 1981 SC 1274: (1981) 2 SCC 585. [Contract Act, 1872, s. 2(b) (9 of 1872)]In the absence of a definition of the phrase 'adequate consideration', the common parlance meaning of the term has to be accepted. A reference to the decision of Hidayatullah, J. as he then was in Tulsidas Kilachand v. CIT shows that the words 'adequate consideration' were held to denote consideration other than mere love and affection which, in the case of a wife, may be presumed. When the law insists that there should be 'adequate consideration' and not good consideration , it excludes mere love and affection, Major V. P. Singh v. State of Uttar Pradesh, 1991 Supp (2) SCC 346 (347): AIR 1991 SC 1502. [U.P. Imposition of ceiling on Land Holdings Act, 1960, s. 5(6) Proviso(b) second clause]The words 'adequate consideration' clearl...
