धारा 99

Section 99 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, deals with the applicability of Chapter II to persons competent to contract. The section states that nothing in Chapter II of this Act shall be deemed to affect the provisions of any statute, act, or regulation, in force in India, and not hereby expressly repealed, by which any contract is made void or voidable, or by which any contract is liable to be rescinded or annulled. The actual statutory language is: 'Nothing in Chapter II of this Act shall be deemed to affect the provisions of any statute, act, or regulation, in force in India, and not hereby expressly repealed, by which any contract is made void or voidable, or by which any contract is liable to be rescinded or annulled.' Judicial interpretations have underscored that the provisions of Chapter II do not override other statutes or regulations that make contracts void or voidable.
