Under the Sale of Goods Act, 1930, in a contract for sale by sample, there is an implied condition that:

Section 17(2)(a) requires the bulk to match the sample in quality, rather than quantity or superior quality. Section 17(2)(b) separately protects comparison opportunity; section 17(2)(c) protects against hidden defects making goods unmerchantable. Matching the sample does not abolish those additional conditions.
