Principle: If a contract is made by post between two persons living in two different cities, then the contract is said to be complete as soon as the letter of acceptance is properly posted, and the place of completion of the contract is that city where acceptance is posted. It is worth mentioning here that in every contract there is always an offer from one party and the acceptance of the offer from the other party. Facts: Sani, a resident of Patna, gives an offer by post to sell his house for 25,00,000 to Hani, a resident of Allahabad.
