Answer Posted / sania

Acceptance is to offer what a lighted match is to train of gunpowder. The position is related to revocation of proposal or acceptance has been describe by Anson in the following words:- this statement primarily good under the English low. here gunpowder = offer and lighted match stick = acceptance. when a lighted match is to train of gunpowder ,it explode and something happen. which cannot be undone,similarly an offer once accepted cannot be revoked. But so long a lighted match is to shown the gunpowder remain insert and can be removed , similarly an offer can remove before its acceptance. But in Indian Contract act ,acceptance can be revoked by resorting to quicker means of communication ,So that offeror learn about before its acceptance. Thus the above statement doesn't hold in relation to revocation of acceptance under Indian Law.
