πŸ—£️ A popular client doubt:
"Sir, we agreed over a phone call. Will it stand in court?" ☎️πŸ‘€

πŸ“Œ Short Answer: YES — but with a BIG IF! ⚠️πŸ˜…
Verbal agreements can be valid, but proving them in court is like catching fog with a net!

Legal Position in India:
Under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, oral agreements are legally valid if they meet essential elements:
✔️ Offer & Acceptance
✔️ Lawful Consideration
✔️ Lawful Object
✔️ Consent of Parties
✔️ Capacity to Contract
