Q1) AMPM is a self-service store. Ravi came across blank CDs of a reputed company being sold at a very cheap price. A box containing 10 CDs was priced at Rs.80 while the price of the box was Rs.150 in other shops. Ravi was a music artist and used 2 boxes every month for storing music. This was a very good deal for him. He picked up all the boxes that were displayed on the shelf, and put them in his shopping trolley. At the cash counter, the boxes were counted and found to be 83 in number. The attendant at the cash counter told him that he could take only five boxes. An argument developed. The manager of the store had to be called. The manager of the store explained that AMPM came up with such discounts from time to time, to attract customers. If one customer was to go away with the entire lot, the very purpose of putting the goods on discount would be lost. Ravi was insistent that he had a right to take all the boxes.

Is the display of goods on the shelves an implied offer by the shop?

If yes, when and how is the offer accepted by the customer?

If no, where does the sale take place? Who makes the offer?

In the light of the above case you are also required to discuss the concepts of Offer and Acceptance in legal parlance.
