The provision of the Sale of Goods Act applies here. According to Section 6 of the Act, if there is a contract for the sale of specific goods and the goods have perished, then the contract is automatically discharged. In this case, the only capsule that was meant to be sold has been destroyed, and therefore the contract is discharged.
