Contract
5 years ago
I had a contract to sell a plot to my friend but his cheque bounced and the matter/contract was left unclosed. Time passed and now after nine years he suddenly shows me that contract and is threatening me to sell the land in same old price as per that contract. Is that legal?
I have the proof of bounced cheque. The plot comes under backward area.

A.An agreement to sale which is expired can not be enforced. The purchased can not make any claim on the basis of the expired agreement to sale. The matter is time barred so contract has no validity.

A.It is necessary to go through the whole agreement and the bounced cheque. Is there any time period mentioned before which both of you have to complete the sale? If so, he cannot file a suit for specific performance now. Further have you received any advance? What is stated about the default on the part of the purchaser in the agreement? These are necessary factors to answer your question properly.

A.The arguable point is the Validity of the Contract. And the point in your favor is the his cheque was also bounced. So, you should take a strong action against him if he tries to threaten you.

A.No, since he has violated the contract. Every contract is time bound, which surely has elapsed. Moreover, cheque issued by him was dishonored and not even paid later on. He has no claim on your plot, legally.

A.It is not legally valid. Since there is specific period mentioned in the agreement and also cheque has bounced your friend cannot enforce the contract.
