![]() ![]() Coercion is one of the most talked about term as it is generally used in the daily discourse of life as well like for example :- If a boy ‘A’ who is attending the primary school gets bullied by boy ‘B’ and is forced to share his food with the bully, it would be said that the boy was coerced into sharing his food with the bully. Person would be left with no other option but to obtain and profess the religion of the oppressor.Įtymologically the word ‘Coercion’ comes from an old French word, ‘Cohercion’. ![]() It was used in such a way that the person who is a victim or a person who is supposed to be coerced was oppressed in the name of divinity. Meaning And Origin Of CoercionĬoercion is not a recent term, it has its presence dating back to the 15th century and was used earlier and mostly for religious confessions or conversions. Although humans have been successful in finding the solution for such a mendacious stumbling block, the problem still continues to threaten the innocents who want to carry out their business transactions and deals in a legal way. This blog will further try to show the ground reality of how coercion is bad for free and fair business deals, it has been present in the human civilisation from ancient ages but the word became popular only in the early 16th century that is 1515-1525s. The blog would also try to cite some cases related to coercion in order to successfully explain the process and its real-life applicability. It will also mention how and when coercion is successfully established. The blog will critically analyse coercion under the Indian Contract Act, 1872. This research will further clarify the difference between coercion and duress, it is of utmost importance since the two subjects have very minor differences between them, the differences between the two cannot be clearly made out by a layman on the first instance. Thus this blog would be limited to the Indian Contract Act since the topic itself makes the scope of research very much limited. ![]() Thus, it has clear mentioning of coercion and therefore it is directly related to the main subject. It is clearly evident that the Act should and must contain the “what to do and how to do” in issues pertaining to fraudulent and malicious practices done towards the victim. The act almost covers all the mercantile aspects and issues involved, it contains the remedy for each and every obstacle that may occur in the monetary agreement and cause instability in the making of a contract between two parties. The Act is one of the best examples of brilliance in lawmaking. The Indian Contract Act, 1872 came into force on 1st September, 1872 and it is pertinent in all the states except Jammu and Kashmir although after the scrapping of article 370 it is clearly evident that the present government would likely make the Act applicable in J&K sooner or later. ![]()
