Virender Singh vs Laxmi Narain And Anr. on 1 November, 2006
To argue that this flaw would render the contract illegal, the accused has placed reliance on
the decision of the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi in Virender Singh v. Laxmi Narain and Anr -
MANU/DE/9709/2006. However the same does not advance the case of the accused in any manner, as
it is distinguishable on the facts of the case. That case was as case of trafficking in public offices,
where the contract in discharge of which cheque was given, related to securing of a post in police force
on payment of illegal consideration. The contract was downright illegal and in violation of heinous
penal provisions, and also public policy insofar as such contracts undermined merit and efficiency in a
service as essential as the police service. The circumstances in the present case are totally different.
What we have is a procedural violation, which cannot be sanctified as a fatal flaw to hold the contract
as illegal.
