This section will not rescind the agreement if it has a clause in which both parties conclude that all future disputes will be resolved by referring the matter to arbitration and that any money awarded will be recovered by the litigant. Any agreement by which a person is deterred from practising a profession, a legitimate industrial or commercial activity is, in this respect, not concluded. An agreement on the execution of an illegal act is an example of non-agreement. For example, a contract between dealers and buyers is a non-contract, simply because the terms of the contract are illegal. In such a case, neither party can take legal action to enforce the contract. An inconclusive contract is invalid from the outset, while a cancelled contract may be cancelled by one or all parties. A cancelled contract is not invalidated by initio, but becomes invalidated later due to certain changes in the condition. In summary, the contracting parties do not have discretion in a nullity contract. Contracting parties are not entitled to enforce a nullity contract. [2] In this section, it is stated that if the consideration or purpose of the contract is totally or partially illegal, the agreement must be considered inconclusive. The working philosophy underlying this section is that if the illegal clause can be dissociated from the contract, then the whole contract is not considered invalid, but only the illegal part is considered invalid and the rest of the contract is considered valid, but if the illegal clause cannot be dissociated from the legal part , then the entire contract is considered illegal. [1] (a) If such acts are known to the parties:- Such impossibility is characterized as absolute impossibility and, in such cases, the agreement is annulled.
If a Tantric Promise B to put life in C`s body for a consideration of Rs. 5,000, the promise that makes this agreement will be annulled from the beginning, because it is a hard fact that life cannot be put back into a body. If an agreement has a clause stipulating that any existing issue is decided by arbitration, such clauses have been maintained after these sections. An important point in this regard is to remember it. If one party is aware of the impossibility of benefit and enters into an agreement with the other party, the other party will be entitled to compensation for the loss or injury it has suffered. Such an agreement boils down to fraud, as discussed on page 17 of the act. For example, A knew that the wood for which he made a sale agreement to B had already been destroyed by fire, so his agreement with B was not covered by this section, but by the S.17 of the law. Another good example is example (c) of S.56, where A prohibits marriage contracts with B, already married to C and subject to polygamy by the law of which he is subject.
