Q. 300 Oral contract is a-

Oral agreements are very much enforceable in courts but in case of disputes it is hard to prove the oral agreement, such a denial by either party & witness like “he said, she said". Oral agreements are only enforceable till both the parties follow the consent and they have sufficient evidence to prove their point in court.

Also, in the case of Sheela Gehlot vs. Sonu Kochar & Ors (2006), Delhi High Court observed that oral agreements are valid and enforceable and there could be no dispute about it. Until there is anything which needed to be written, an oral agreement will enforce. No one can question the oral agreement as invalid.
