In which of the following cases, presumption of contract to the contrary under section 230 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, shall not be presumed?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 230 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 presumes a contract to the contrary (making the agent personally liable) where the agent contracts for the sale or purchase of goods for a merchant resident abroad, where the agent does not disclose the name of his principal, or where the principal, though disclosed, cannot be sued. The option "Where the principal does not disclose the name of his agent" reverses the second situation and is not a statutory case. Because the other two situations are listed in the section, the presumption is not excluded in all the given cases.
