I. ABSTRACT

Intention is a mental aspect. It shows what one wanted to do by his actions. It cannot be measured. But it can be determined by the acts of a person in committing a crime or a breach of contract or a tort. Intention is considered as an essential in various situations in Indian law. Intention can be essential in some situations and can also be avoided to determine a few exceptions. But does the existence of exceptions make it a questionable essential? The answer to this question will be given by the end of this research paper. Also, the concept that increases confusions about intention is reasonable foresight, both of these are different terms. They are not to be used interchangeably. The degree of reasonable foresight is more than intention. The difference between intention and reasonable foresight will appear more clear by the end of this research paper. The two issues stated above shall appear to be clarified and solved.

Keywords: Intention, Essential, reasonable foresight, interchangeable, exceptions.
