 2024 MLD 1886

There is no cudgel to the legal position that it is not mandatory that an agreement to sell be written or printed on a stamp paper as the law fully acknowledges even an oral agreement. It is equally correct that in case of non-appearance of attesting witnesses to an agreement to sell, the contents and existence of said document cannot be proved in terms of Article 17 read with Article 79 of the Qanun-e-Shahadat Order, 1984 which is mandatory.

Karam Elahi vs. Ahmad Din, etc.

Under the law a contract can be in writing or oral and oral agreement would be valid and enforceable just like a written agreement provided it fulfills the requirements of valid agreement.
