But this promise will become loyally binding only when the acceptance of the offer is unconditional.Factual Situation: Ram makes an offer to sell his house to Shyam for ` 50,00,000. Shyam accepts this offer but wants to pay the price of the house in five quarterly instalments. Ram does not agree to it. Thereafter, Shyam agrees to pay the price of the house in the way as originally desired by Ram. But Ram does not reply to it. Can Shyam compel Ram to sell his house to him? (CLAT 2013)
