Misrepresentation on the Contract

X sold certain Zamindari property to Y on the representation that the income to the property as entered into the revenue papers was Rs 10,000/- annually although X knew as a fact that the income was Rs.8,000/- only. Can Y avoid the sale on discovery of the misrepresentation ?

Y can avoid the sale on discovering the misrepresentation because wher consent to an agreement is caused by misrepresentation, the agreement is a contract voidable at the option of the party whose consent was so obtained.
