Answer: No, because Mallory and Raghav are not bound by the contract.

Explanation: Being bound by a contract entails being linked to a written agreement, the breaching of which could result in consequences lying with the person who breached the contract. However when this contract was entered into, there was a clause that allowed the parties to cancel the contract at any time. When Mallory fired Raghav the contract was subsequently cancelled, making the contract null and void (non - existent). This means that Raghav is not entitled to the outstanding 10 months' salaries.
