धारा 135

According to Section 135 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, 'something which is done or abstained from, at the desire of the promisor, is a consideration for the promise, though done or abstained from, before the promise was made.' The consideration may precede or follow the promise. The Supreme Court in the case of M/s. Shakti Bhog Foods Ltd. v. Kola VC, (2005) 1 SCC 631, held that the consideration may be past, present, or future.
