Paragraph 2(h) of the Indian Contracts Act defines a contract as «a legally enforceable agreement that is a contract.» A contract is therefore an agreement plus legal applicability. Example: A signs a contract with B to bring B`s father back to life for ten thousand rupees. Since the contract involves the performance of an impossible act, it is not a valid contract The Indian Contracts Act of 1872 contains the guidelines for the formation of a valid contract. It plays an important role wherever there is an agreement or contract. The Contracts Act defines the term «contract» in paragraph 2(h) as «a legally enforceable agreement». A contract contrary to public policy can be rejected by the court, even if this contract is beneficial for all parties to the contract — What considerations and objectives are legal and what is not Newar Marble Industries Pvt. Ltd. vs. Rajasthan State Electricity Board, Jaipur, 1993 Cr. L.J. 1191 at 1197, 1198 [Raj.] — Agreement which was an object or consideration contrary to public policy, illegal and void — – What could be better and what more can be an admission that the consideration or object of the compound interest agreement was that the Commission was preventing the applicant company from prosecuting the applicant company for an offence under section 39 of the Act and that the Chamber converted the offence into a source of profit or benefit for itself. This consideration or object is manifestly contrary to public policy, so that the compound interest agreement is illegal and void under article 23 of the Act. It is not enforceable against the applicant undertaking.
(5) An offer may be express or implied — express offer means oral or written, while the implied offer is understood on the basis of the conduct of the contracting parties. The Indian Contract Act, 1872, is the law that governs treaties in India. It came into force in 1872. It is enforceable in all states except the state of Jammu and Kashmir. It determines the situations in which the commitments entered into by the Contracting Parties are legally binding on them. An enforceable agreement forms a contract, while a promise accepted by all parties involved forms an agreement. The consent given must be voluntary. Consent obtained through misrepresentation, influence, coercion, violence or fraud will invalidate the contract. Indian contract law is based on the principles of English law.
The act was enacted in 1872 and came into force on August 1, 1872. September 1872 in force. It covers the whole of India with the exception of the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian Contracts Act is not an exhaustive code. It defines and amends only certain parts of contract law. The custom must be reasonable, safe and well known. However, customs or practices must not conflict with the provisions of the law. When contract law is silent on an issue, Hindu or Muslim law applies to contracts. It is therefore not a complete code and is therefore not exhaustive. For a contract to be valid, it must be legally enforceable and contain the following bases, as set out in section 10 of the Indian Contracts Act. All contracts are legally enforceable agreements, but not all agreements are contracts. A contract is legally enforceable, but an agreement is only a socially acceptable promise that may or may not be legally enforceable – section 2(b) of the Indian Contracts Act, 1872 defines a promise as follows: «If the person to whom the proposal is made indicates his or her consent, the proposal becomes an accepted proposal.
A proposal, if adopted, becomes a promise. A promise to do or not to do something becomes an agreement if it is accepted by all parties involved in the agreement. 2. Undue influence (Article 16): «If a person who is in a position to control the will of another enters into a contract with him and the transaction appears unscrupulous at first sight or on the basis of the evidence, the burden of proof that the contract was not concluded by undue influence shall be on the person who is able to: to control the will of the other. 10.
