When two or more persons have a common intention communicated to each other to create some obligation between them, there is said to be an agreement. An agreement which is enforceable by law is a “Contract”.
According to section 10 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 only those agreements are enforceable by law which are made by the free consent of parties competent to contract, for a lawful consideration
and with a lawful object and are not expressly declared to be void.
