A supplies the wife and children of B, a lunatic, with necessaries suitable to the style of their living. Whether A can claim the reimbursed from B’s property under which section of certain relations resembling those created by contract ?
68
Section 68 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 (claim for necessaries supplied to person incapable of contracting, or on his account) provides that if a person incapable of entering into a contract, or anyone whom he is legally bound to support, is supplied by another person with necessaries suited to his condition in life, the person who has furnished such supplies is entitled to be reimbursed from the property of such incapable person.
The question reproduces Illustration (a) to Section 68: A supplies the wife and children of B, a lunatic, with necessaries suitable to their condition in life; A is entitled to be reimbursed from B’s property.
Section 69 deals with reimbursement of a person paying money due by another in which he is interested, Section 70 with the obligation of a person enjoying the benefit of a non-gratuitous act, and Section 71 with the responsibility of a finder of goods.
Hence, the answer is 68.
