made by a person to another person then it is unto that another person

acceptance must be satisfied.
Effect of Acceptance

Test of acceptance
For the acceptance, the essential requirement is that the parties had each

Under this meeting of the minds theory of contract, a party could resist a
claim of breach by proving that he had not intended to be bound by the
agreement, only if it appeared subjectively that he had so intended. This is
unsatisfactory, as one party has no way to know another's undisclosed
intentions. One party can only act upon what the other party reveals

the proposal is required to be accepted within reasonable time. On
the expiry og such reasonable time the proposal is lapsed. The
reasonable time is decided on the basis of fact and circumstances of
the case especially on the basis of nature of the subject matter or
importance the subject matter or need of subject matter.
C) by the failure of the acceptor to fulfill a condition precedent to
acceptance: When the proposal is made with the condition precedent
it is required that the acceptor should accept the proposal with
condition precedent . But if the acceptor fails in performing such
condition precedent or attempts to accept the proposal without
accepting such conditions the proposal shall be lapsed and the
acceptor is not entitle to accept it after this.

proposal and this fact come to the knowledge of the acceptor. The
proposal is lapsed by making counter offer.
