पर्याय
As it was wrong on the part of P to bargain over a property belonging to a celebrity and he should have accepted some gift which might have been given by the film star and returned the Necklace instead of threatening her that he would sell it.
As the film star had notified in the newspaper, P ought to have read it and contacted her instead of publishing another notification. So he cannot claim any compensation.
P was requesting the film star for the actual expenditure incurred by him before returning the Necklace. This request is legally sustainable.
The film star was right in refusing P, as she did not offer any rew ard for anyone who would return the Necklace.
