Question

Claim for necessaries of life supplied to a lunatic under section 68

• A. Can be enforced against the lunatic's property
• B. Can be enforced against the lunatic personally when he ceases to be lunatic
• C. Cannot be enforced against the lunatic or his estate
• D. Can be enforced against the guardian of the lunatic

Hint:

Section 68 protects suppliers of necessaries to incapable persons by allowing claims against their estate.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Under Section 68 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, claims for necessaries supplied to a person incapable of contracting (e.g., a lunatic) can be enforced against their property, not personally or against a guardian. Thus, the correct answer is: \[ {\text{Can be enforced against the lunatic's property}} \]
