Section 31 of the Sale of Goods Act, 1930, states: 'The seller of goods is bound to deliver the goods to the buyer, and the buyer is bound to accept and pay for them, in accordance with the terms of the contract of sale.' This section emphasizes the fundamental obligation of the seller to deliver the goods as per the contract terms. The delivery of goods is a critical aspect of the sale of goods, and any failure to deliver can lead to a breach of contract. The section does not specify the manner of delivery, which can be determined by the contract or by the course of dealing between the parties. The seller's duty to deliver includes ensuring that the goods are in the same condition as they were at the time of the contract, unless otherwise agreed. In the case of Kailash Nath v. Prem Nath, the court held that the seller's failure to deliver the goods as per the contract terms constitutes a breach of contract, entitling the buyer to claim damages.
