Principle An agreement the terms of which are not certain or capable of being made certain is void F...........

Indian Contract Act (ICA)1872 Valid and Void Contracts

Principle: An agreement, the terms of which are not certain, or capable of being made certain, is void.

Facts: Sunder agreed to take Bhola’s penthouse on rent for three years at the rate of rupees 12, 00, 000/- per annum provided the house was put to thorough repairs and the living rooms were decorated according to contemporary style.

There is a valid contract because there is an offer from Sunder and acceptance from Bhola

There is a valid contract because all the terms of contract are certain and not vague as the rent is fixed by both of them and the term ‘present style’ only can be interpreted to mean the latest style.

There is no valid contract because it has vague and uncertain terms, as the term ‘present style’ may mean one thing to Sunder and another to Bhola.

It is voidable contract at the option of Bhola.

Explanation:

There is a clear lack of clarity on what “contemporary style” would mean to either party.
The term “present style” as referred to in option A is obviously missing from the facts, but it means pretty much the same as “contemporary style” anyway.
There is no valid contract because it has vague and uncertain terms, as the term ‘present style’ may mean one thing to Sunder and another to Bhola.
