Applicable Rule under the Indian Contract Act, 1872
According to the Indian Contract Act, 1872, the applicable rule in this scenario is Section 115, which deals with the duty of a person to disclose information when the relationship between the parties is one of utmost good faith.
Under Section 115 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, a person is bound to disclose any information that can affect the willingness of the other party to enter into a contract if there exists a relationship of utmost good faith between them. In this case, Ghanshyam and Afzal are good friends and have been doing business transactions together, indicating the presence of a close relationship.
According to the Indian Contract Act, 1872, in this scenario, Afzal is not legally bound to inform Ghanshyam about the change in price. Although they are good friends and have been doing business transactions together, the duty to disclose information arises only when there is a relationship of utmost good faith between the parties.
In this case, the fact that Afzal has certain confidential information about the change in prices does not automatically create a duty for him to disclose it to Ghanshyam. The duty to disclose would arise only if there was a special relationship based on utmost good faith, such as a fiduciary relationship or a relationship of trust and confidence.
Therefore, since the question does not mention any such special relationship, Afzal is not legally bound to inform Ghanshyam about the change in price.

Basel Convention: The Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal
The Basel Convention is an international treaty that was established to control and regulate the transboundary movements of hazardous wastes and their disposal. It aims to prevent the transfer of hazardous wastes from developed countries to less developed countries, where they may be improperly managed or disposed of, causing significant environmental and health risks.
This convention was adopted in 1989 and entered into force in 1992. It is named after the city of Basel in Switzerland, where it was first negotiated. The convention currently has 188 parties, including the European Union.
Key Objectives of the Basel Convention
The Basel Convention has several key objectives, including:

• Minimizing hazardous waste generation: The convention encourages countries to minimize the generation of hazardous wastes and promote the use of cleaner production methods.
• Environmentally sound management: The convention aims to ensure the environmentally sound management of hazardous wastes, including their collection, treatment, storage, and disposal.
• Reducing transboundary movements: The primary objective of the convention is to reduce the transboundary movements of hazardous wastes and prevent their transfer to countries that lack the capacity to handle them safely.

Control Measures of the Basel Convention
To achieve its objectives, the Basel Convention establishes a set of control measures, including:

• Prior informed consent (PIC) procedure: The convention requires that exporters of hazardous wastes obtain the prior informed consent of the importing country before any shipment can take place. This ensures that the receiving country is aware of the nature of the waste and has the capacity to manage it safely.
• Export and import restrictions: The convention prohibits the export of hazardous wastes to countries that have prohibited their import. It also restricts the export of hazardous wastes to countries that have not given their prior informed consent.
• Environmentally sound management: The convention promotes the environmentally sound management of hazardous wastes, including their treatment, storage, and disposal. It encourages countries to develop national legislation and regulations to ensure the safe handling of hazardous wastes.

Achievements and Challenges
Since its adoption, the Basel Convention has made significant achievements in improving the management of hazardous wastes. It has raised awareness about the risks associated with transboundary movements of hazardous wastes and has led to the development of national legislation and regulations in many countries.
However, challenges remain in ensuring the effective implementation of the convention. Some countries still lack the capacity to handle hazardous wastes safely, and illegal trade in hazardous wastes continues to be a concern. Efforts are ongoing to strengthen the enforcement of the convention and enhance international cooperation in the management of hazardous wastes.
In conclusion, the Basel Convention is associated with the control of transboundary movements of hazardous wastes and their disposal. It aims to minimize the generation of hazardous wastes, promote their environmentally sound management, and reduce the transfer of hazardous wastes to countries that lack the capacity to handle them safely.
