It does not appear that section 39 of Indian contract act has any applicability to the given facts.
Section 39 reads as follows:
Effect of refusal of party to perform promise wholly.—When a party to a contract has refused to perform, or disabled himself from performing, his promise in its entirety, the promisee may put an end to the contract, unless he has signified, by words or conduct, his acquiescence in its continuance.
