Which of the following is not an actionable claim?

Verified Answer

B. Promise to pay Rs. 5000, if the promisee succeeds in LL.B. Examination
C. Agreement to pay Rs. 2000 if the promisee marries a particular woman
D. Right to claim benefit of a contract coupled with a liability

Explanation:

Section 3 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, defines 'actionable claim' as a claim to any debt or beneficial interest in movable property. A right coupled with a liability is generally not considered a pure actionable claim, as actionable claims are typically pure debts or beneficial interests without corresponding liabilities attached to the claim itself.
