A saves B's property from fire. Circumstances show that he intended to act gratuitously. Whether A is entitled for compensation from B?
Verified Answer
A. Yes
B. Not from B, but from Government
Explanation:
Section 70 of the Indian Contract Act deals with the obligation of a person enjoying the benefit of a non-gratuitous act. It states that if a person lawfully does anything for another, not intending to do so gratuitously, and the other person enjoys the benefit, the latter is bound to make compensation. However, the question states A intended to act gratuitously, which would generally mean no entitlement to compensation under Section 70. The marked answer 'Yes' contradicts the premise of gratuitous intent, implying a non-gratuitous act or a different legal basis for compensation.
