उत्तर

The Bank can file a suit for recovery of the loan amount against Soloman as he took the loan for a personal purpose and in such case, no immunity will work.  

Explanation:

The Bank can file a suit for recovery of the loan amount against Soloman as he took the loan for a personal purpose and in such case, no immunity will work. The Trade Union Act does not provide any immunity in any civil court to either a registered Trade Union or its officer against non-repayment of a personal loan.

But after some time in order to earn some money for the maintenance of the centre, T starts sending the children of the centre on the rotation basis to work for four hours a day in some nearby chemical and hazardous factories. When P comes to know about this new development, he asks T either to stop the children from working in factories or to leave his house immediately. T neither agrees to leave the house nor to stop the children from working in the factories. P files a suit in the court of law of appropriate relief/action.


Principle: A contract that is duly supported by real and lawful consideration is valid not withstanding the fact that the consideration is inadequate. The quantum of consideration is for the parties to decide at the time of making a contract and not for the courts (to decide) when the contract is sought to be enforced. An agreement to which the consent of the promisor is freely given is not void merely because the consideration is inadequate, but the inadequacy of the consideration may be taken into account by the court in determining the question of whether the consent of the promisor was freely given.
