Good Afternoon,
I have a doubt with regard to revocation of offer. Hence, I have created the following hyphothetical situation and kindly request you to help me in this regard.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
A(a resident of Andaman Nicobar Islands) posts his letter of offer by registered post(it is due to reach B on 6 May,2010) to B(a resident of Chennai) on 1 May, 2010 evening.
Realizing some error in his offer letter, he posts the letter of revocation by speed post 2nd,May 2010 evening(it is due to reach on 4th May 2010)...
Unfortunately due to earthquake in Andaman Nicobar Islands the next day, transportation and communication services were effected and so A's letter of revocation could not reach B, prior to his letter of offer reaching B, i.e his revocation reaches B on only 8th May, 2010 (by this time B has read A's letter of offer and sent his acceptance letter by post).
So, does A's revocation stands valid inspite of B's acceptance?
