An estate is bequeathed to A if he pays 500 rupees to B. What is A's interest before he pays?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Illustration (viii) to section 120 says "A's interest in the bequest is contingent until he has paid 500 rupees to B." Payment is a condition that must be fulfilled before the gift takes effect, so the legacy does not vest until it happens. The condition is lawful and possible, so the gift is not void.
