Indian Contract Act Section 24 — Agreements void, if considerations and objects unlawful in part

CHAPTER II OF CONTRACTS, VOIDABLE CONTRACTS AND VOID AGREEMENTS — Void agreements

Commercial / Corporate

Summary

If any part of a single payment or promise (consideration) given for one or more goals is unlawful, or if any one of several payments or promises, or any part of any one of them, given for a single goal is unlawful, then the entire agreement becomes void. This means the whole contract fails, not just the unlawful part.

Official Text

If any part of a single consideration for one or more objects, or any one or any part of any one of several considerations for a single object, is unlawful, the agreement is void. Illustration
