Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Satyabrata Ghose is the leading Supreme Court decision explaining frustration through section 56: supervening impossibility is not confined to literal physical impossibility, but may involve an event destroying the foundation of the undertaking. The Court distinguished discharge under an express or implied contractual contingency, governed by section 32, and found the particular land-development contract had not been frustrated. Thus frustration is the principal subject of the case. The judgment was delivered in 1953 and reported as AIR 1954 SC 44.
