SHAKUNTLA ETC. ETC. STATE v. Robert Hargreaves

Mr. Mahajan for the appellants tried to argue that "good consi- ·deration" has been defined in Black's Law Dictionary (fourth edi tion) to mean "such as is founded on natural duty and affection'', cand would amount to consideration within the meaning of section 32FF of the Act. But even there it has been clarified that "good" ~· is generally used "in antithesis to valuable consideration". which has ~ necessarily to be excluded in the case of a gift by virtue of its defi- nition in section 122 of the Transfer of Property Act. The rirgu ment of learned counsel becomes untenable on a to 17 C.J.S. Contract 91-92 on which he has placed considerable reliance. We have also gone through James Newton v. Robert Hargreaves, Cl :but it cannot avail the appellants for there the conveyance was by the father to his two sons in consideration of natural Jove and affection and the law acknowledged that to be a "good" consideration, which is not so in the cases before us. reference A B c D There is thus no force in these appeals and they arc dismissed with costs. M.R. Appeals dismissed. (1) 135 E. R. 905,
