Official index description

Neither the Transfer of Property Act nor the Contract Act contains any specific provision as to whether a person with an intellectual disability (বুদ্ধি প্রতিবন্ধী) is competent to contract or to transfer property. The competency of such a person must, therefore, be determined in the light of the general principles embodied in Sections 11 and 12 of the Contract Act, namely, whether, at the time of entering into the transaction, the person was capable of understanding its nature and of forming a rational judgment as to its effect upon his or her interests.
