Principle: A proposal (offer) should be made with an intention that after its valid acceptance, a legally binding promise or agreement will be created.

Facts: One morning during breakfast, 'X' (the father) says to 'Y' (his son), "I shall buy a motorbike for you if you get through the CLAT."

Facts: 'X' made an offer to buy 'Y's property for a stipulated price. 'Y' accepted it and communicated his acceptance to 'Z', a stranger.
