    Solution

    Contingent Liabilities are not the present liabilities therefore they should not be disclosed as a Balance Sheet Item which shows the Assets and Liabilities as on date. These liabilities become proper liabilities only on the happening of an uncertain future event therefore comes under Notes to accounts.
