Void agreements [section 2(g)] – “an agreement not enforceable by law is said to be void.” The
agreements which have declared void by the Act are as follows:-

(2) Agreements without consideration (section 25)

(6) Agreement void for uncertainty (section 29)
(7) Agreement by way of wager (section 30)
(8) Agreement to do an Impossible Act (section 56).
Wagering contract - A wagering contract is one by which two persons professing to hold
opposite views touching the issue of a future uncertain event, mutually agree that dependant
upon the determination of that event, or shall win from the other, and that other shall pay or hand
over to him, a sum of money on other stakes, neither of the contracting parties having any other
interest in that contract than the sum or stake he will so win or lose, there being no other real
consideration for the making of such contract by either of parties.
Contingent Contract[Section 31] – A contingent contract is a contract to do or not to do
something, if some event collateral to such contract does or does not happen.
Obligation of parties to contract [Section 37] - The parties to a contract must either perform,
offer to perform, their respective promises unless such performance is dispensed with or
executed under the provision of this Act, or of any other law. Promises bind the representatives
of the promisors in case of the death of such promisors before performance, unless a contrary
intention appears from the contract.

2. Contract to do act afterwards becoming impossible or unlawful [Section 57]
3. Compensation for loss though non-performance of act known to be impossible or
unlawful. [Section 58]
