Dutt is not liable because he has rejected the offer by giving a counter offer which is also not specific Contract comes into existence only when an offer made is accepted. Here Dutt did not accept offer made by Karan, instead he made an unspecific offer, which cannot be assumed as offer hence there is no contract.
