Principle: When at the desire of one person, any other person has done or abstained from doing something, such act or abstinence or promise is called a consideration for the promise. Only a promise coupled with consideration is enforceable by law. Facts: X, the uncle of Y, made a promise to pay him an amount of 10,000 as reward if Y quits smoking and drinking within one year. X also deposited the above-mentioned amount in a bank and informed Y that the said amount will be paid to him if he quits smoking and drinking within one year. Within a period of six months of making the promise, X died. After the expiry of one year of making the promise by X, Y made a request to the legal heirs of X demanding the promised money.
