How To Declare Contract Null Void
08-Apr-2025 (In Civil Law)
There is a franchise agreement document which was signed in 2015. The agreement was notarized before it was signed by both the parties. Is it possible Now to declare the document null and void ?
Is it a notarized agreement or a registered one?
Moreover there are few conditions as per the Indian Contract Act where one of the parties can pull back from an agreement. However giving an opinion on the same would require a detailed discussion after knowing the complete facts of the case.

Yes, it may be possible to declare the agreement null and void, but it depends on the specific facts. A notarized agreement signed by both parties is generally valid. However, if it can be proven that the agreement was obtained by fraud, misrepresentation, coercion, or that it violates any statutory provisions or public policy, then a civil suit can be filed seeking a declaration under Section 34 of the Specific Relief Act. Delay in filing may also impact the outcome, so limitation issues must be considered.

This is definitely a RED FLAG on the validity of the franchise agreement. However, you need to ensure that a credible witness should be there to support this challenge. In addition, this can not be a sole ground for revocation of the franchise agreement. You have to provide further details.

yes it's possible if it could be proved that the document was not signed in front of the notary / oath commisioner and that the sign of the parties are not affixed in the daily registar of the notary / oath commisioner. and further few more proofs reach us to discuss further.

A contract can be declared null and void if it is void ab initio. If you have concrete legal evidences to prove that the contract is void you can inform the other party with whom you have done a contract and send them a notice to declare the contract null and void. But for better legal advice I have to go through the above-mentioned franchise agreement.
