Alternative promise’ one branch being illegal:- Section 58
The law on this point is contained in Section 58 which says that “In the case of the alternative promise, one branch of which is legal and the other illegal, the legal branch alone can be enforced”.
Example: A and B agree that A shall pay B ` 1,00,000, for which B shall afterwards deliver to A either rice or smuggled opium.
This is a valid contract to deliver rice, and a void agreement as to the opium.
