It needs no emphasis to state that Law of Contract is omnipresent in all transactions. Right from the stage of formation of contract to implementation to conclusion thereof, the Act encompasses all situations and provides remedies in case there is any breach. Judicial pronouncements over the years have endeavoured to protect the individual from the might of the State in contractual matters.
