Question

'A' promises to make a sculpture for 'B'

• A. 'A' must perform this promise personally
• B. A's son can perform the promise
• C. A's servant can perform the promise
• D. A's employer can perform the promise

Hint:

Contracts requiring personal skill (e.g., art) cannot be delegated unless the contract permits it.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, a contract involving personal skill or expertise (e.g., making a sculpture) must be performed personally by the promisor (Section 40), unless otherwise agreed. Thus, the correct answer is: \[ {\text{'A' must perform this promise personally}} \]
