A Void agreement is an agreement that is invalid under the law. This means that it is not legally binding and will not be recognized by the courts.
An invalid agreement is one that is expressly forbidden by law or is contrary to public policy. It can also be unconscionable, meaning that one or both of the parties involved had no intention of entering into the agreement.
Void agreements are often illegal because they create unjust or inequitable outcomes. For example, if one party to a contract promises to pay the other party a certain amount of money, but then fails to do so, this would be a void agreement and the other party would be entitled to sue the first party for the unpaid amount.
In order to be legally binding, an agreement must be in writing and must comply with the requirements of the Indian Contract Act, 1872. The agreement must also be clear and free from ambiguity.
An invalid agreement cannot be enforced by the courts, even if the other party is willing to perform the terms of the agreement. This is because an invalid agreement is not a legally binding contract
