Q. Sec 25 lays down the exceptional cases where a contract is
enforceable even though there is no consideration.
1. Sec 25 (1) States : An agreement made without consideration is void unless it is
expressed in writing and registered under the law for the time being in force for
the registration of documents and is made on account of natural love and affection
between the parties standing in near relation to each other.
2. Sec 25 (2) States : “ An agreement without a consideration is void unless it is
promise to compensate a person who has already and voluntarily done something
for the promised or something which the promisor was legally complellable to do.
3. Sec 25 (3) States : “ An agreement made without consideration is void unless it is
promise made in writing and signed by the debtor or his agent to pay wholly or in
part, the time bared debt by the law of timitation”
A debt bared by law of limitation cannot be recovered unless it is written and signed
promise by the debt or his agent making it enforceable without any fresh consideration.
