Which one of the following Sections of the Sale of Goods Act, 1930 deals with the doctrine of caveat emptor?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Sale of Goods Act section 16 states the general absence of implied quality/fitness conditions, then supplies exceptions such as disclosed purpose plus reliance on the seller’s skill and merchantable quality for goods bought by description from the relevant dealer. This is the caveat emptor framework, not an absolute denial of buyer protection. Sections 15, 17 and 18 concern description, sample and ascertainment of goods.
