One student mugged the section. One understood it. Marks follow understanding — Raysheo trains it, one written answer at a time.

Start free with Unit 1How it trains you
LL.B. SEM I · LAW OF CONTRACT · Q.4P hires Q's hall to watch the coronation procession. The procession is cancelled. Q sues for the balance of the hire. Decide. (15 marks)
Ans. 4  ·  Candidate 1

Section 56 of Indian Contract Act says an agreement to do an impossible act is void. Frustration means the contract becomes impossible to perform. Here the procession was cancelled, so the contract became impossible and is void. Hence Q will not succeed. Also in Krell v Henry it was held same.

the hall still exists — why "impossible"?
held what? how does it apply to these facts?
rule recited, never applied →
6/15
Ans. 4  ·  Candidate 2

✓Issue: does cancellation frustrate the hire when performance is still physically possible?

✓Rule: s.56 voids an agreement when the act becomes impossible — and per Satyabrata Ghose (SC), "impossible" means the object of the contract has failed, not literal impossibility.

✓Application: the procession was the foundation of the hire — the hall is useless for the purpose both parties contracted for, as in Krell v Henry.

Conclusion: the contract is frustrated; Q's suit for the balance fails.

object failed, not literal impossibility — good.

01 · THE PRODUCT, NOT A PICTURE OF IT

This is the actual session screen. Study it.

Tap the card, rate yourself, and the schedule does the rest — each rating decides when that card returns, timed to land just before you'd forget it. The reasoning comes first; the section number is the footnote.

02 · HOW MARKS HAPPEN

Recall · Apply · Pass

Streaks decorate. This is the engine — and it's the spine of every subject in the app.

01Recall

Spaced repetition. Rate a card and it returns just before you'd forget it — provisions, ingredients, leading cases, compounding daily.

CARD · FREE CONSENT
s.15 — the three ingredients of coercion
returns in 6 days
02Apply

Write real exam answers, then check them line by line against a model — issue, rule, authority, application. Guided, never auto-graded.

SELF-CHECK · Q4
✓ Named the issue in one line
✓ Applied s.56 to these facts
☐ Cited the leading case
03Pass

Mastery needs both. Exam-ready is earned when recall holds and your answers apply the law — one without the other stays Solid.

LAW OF CONTRACTSOLID
Recall 84% · Application 41% — one tier from exam-ready

The exam does not ask you to recite. It asks you to apply.

What usually happens

Photocopied notes from three seniors. A week of cramming definitions. You walk in able to state a section word for word, meet a problem question about a cancelled procession, and freeze — because nobody showed you that impossibility means the object of the bargain has failed.

What we do instead

Every card opens with a set of facts and asks you to decide. The answer leads with the principle in plain language. The section number sits underneath as a citation, and a further layer explains why the rule exists at all — because that is the part that transfers to a question you have never seen.

And we measure it honestly

Recall and application are tracked as two separate numbers. You cannot reach exam-ready on flashcards alone, however many you do. The second number only moves when you write structured answers and mark them against a checklist.

Featured case

Rustom K. Karanjia v K.M.D. Thackersey (1970) and R. Rajagopal v State of Tamil Nadu (1994)

Bombay High Court (Palekar J.); Supreme Court of India (B.P. Jeevan Reddy J.) **Citations:** AIR 1970 Bom 424; (1994) 6 SCC 632 **Subject:** defamation — justification, fair comment, qualified privilege, privacy and prior restraint · Law of Torts, Motor Accident Claims and Consumer Protection

These two decisions between them fix the boundary between a free press and a protected reputation in India.

Subjects covered

Questions

Which course and syllabus does Raysheo cover?

The LL.B. as taught at Indian universities — both the three-year LL.B. and the five-year B.L.S. / B.A. LL.B. The Bar Council of India prescribes the compulsory subjects every recognised law course must teach, so the core papers are the same wherever you study; what varies between universities is how those papers are divided into units and which electives are offered. Raysheo is organised by subject and unit, and the unit structure follows the University of Mumbai scheme. Open the Library to see which subjects are published today — it grows as each one clears review.

Does it work without an internet connection?

Yes. Download a subject once and every card, question and note works with no signal at all — on the train, in the reading room, anywhere. Your ratings and progress are stored on the device and sync the next time you are online.

Is this a substitute for reading the bare act?

No, and it is not meant to be. It is a study aid, not legal advice and not a replacement for your prescribed textbook. Every card names its provision and, where one exists, its leading case, precisely so that you can go and read the source — which is the habit the degree is actually trying to build.

Who writes the content, and how do you know it is right?

Cards are drafted by law graduates and reviewed before publication. Nothing publishes until the reasoning is written in plain language and a provision is cited with the correct sub-section. That is also why subjects ship one at a time and complete — every unit with its flashcards, MCQs, written answers with model answers, revision notes and chapter reading — rather than five subjects half-done.
