14. In Ratilal v. Dalmia Cement & Paper Marketing Co. AIR 1943 Bombay 229, it was held that the written or typed-in terms which are inconsistent with the printed terms will prevail.

15. In Mohanlal v. Krishna Premji & Co. AIR 1928 Bom. 170, the Division Bench of the Bombay High Court held that when a contract is partly printed and partly written, special importance should be given to that part of the contract which is written, but the printed portion is not to be neglected and the whole of the document, both printed and written must be construed and if possible, one intelligible whole made of it.

19. In Firm Ganeshi Lal v. Firm Debi Sahia (AIR 1927 Lahore 481) a Division Bench of the Lahore High Court held that when a contract is both in writing and in print that part which is in writing will be operative as against the part which is in print, if there is an inconsistency between the two.

20. The Division Bench of the Madras High Court in Moolchand Kesarimull v. Associated Agencies (AIR 1942 Madras 139) was called upon to resolve the conflict between the printed terms in a document and a clause which was typed into the said printed document. It was held that under a contract which is partly typewritten and partly printed in a form commonly used by one of the parties and since there was a conflict between the typed portion and the printed portion, the typed portion prevails. Following the decisions in Gumm v. Tyril (1864) 33 LJ QB 97, Glynn v. Margeston & Co. ((1893) 1893 AC 351) and Robertson v. French ((1803) 4 East 130), it was noticed that if the typewritten and printed portions of a contract can be read together, effect must be given to all the provisions, but if the printed portion cannot be reconciled with the typewritten portion, the typewritten portion must prevail.

24. Pollock & Mulla on Indian Contract & Specific Relief Acts, Twelfth Edition states as follows:

In the event of any inconsistency between the printed and the written provisions, the printed words cannot be discarded; attempt to derive the real meaning must be made from the printed as well as the written words, and between them, greater weight must be given to written clauses or type-written clauses than the printed clauses, because as Lord Ellenborough said in a judgment repeatedly approved,'.... where a contract is partly printed in a common form and partly written, the words added in writing are entitled, if there should be any reasonable doubt upon the sense and meaning of the whole, to have a greater effect attributed to them than to the printed words; inasmuch as the written words are the immediate language and words selected by the parties themselves for the expression of their meaning, and the printed words are a general formula adapted equally to their case and that of all other contracting parties upon similar occasions and subjects. So also a special agreement or clause between parties added to the printed form must be given greater weight than the clauses of the printed form. Where a typed 'paramount clause' was included in a charter party without words of limitation, all the rules referred to in the paramount clause would form part of the terms of the charter party and would take precedence over the printed terms of the charter party. But where a document consists otherwise of print, type and ink writing, the most natural inference to draw of an addition to that in pencil is that it is not, and is not intended to be operative and final alteration.

26. Added to the aforesaid principles, when printed forms maintained by one of the parties in the course of its activities are applied in the making of a contract document the printed clauses will have to be construed, having regard to any clause typed into, added by manuscript or otherwise added on to the contract document. Such addition by writing, typewriting or addition by any other mode expresses the intention of the contracting parties to give such added conditions an authoritative effect on the printed conditions in the case of an irreconcilable conflict between the printed conditions and the conditions so added or superimposed.
