The basis of 'quasi contractual relations' is the prevention of unjust enrichment at the expense of others.
- Quasi contractual relations are not actual contracts but are created by law to prevent one party from being unjustly enriched at the expense of another party.
- These relations are based on the principle of fairness and equity.
- They arise in situations where there is no valid contract between the parties, but one party has received a benefit from another party.
- The party who has conferred the benefit can seek restitution or compensation from the party who has received the benefit.
- The aim is to prevent one party from taking advantage of the other party's labor, services, or property without providing fair compensation.
- Quasi contractual relations are also known as contracts implied in law or constructive contracts.
- They are not based on the intention or agreement of the parties but are imposed by the law to prevent unjust enrichment.
- These relations are governed by legal principles and doctrines rather than specific provisions in the Contract Act.
- The key principle underlying quasi contractual relations is the prevention of unjust enrichment and the promotion of fairness and equity in the absence of a valid contract.
- Therefore, option B: "prevention of unjust enrichment at the expense of others" is the correct answer.

A quasi contract is an agreement between two parties without previous obligations to one another that has been created and legally recognized by the court system. Under a quasi-contract, neither involved party is expected to create such an agreement; this contract is arranged and imposed by a judge to correct a circumstance in which one party acquires something at the expense of the other party.
