1. Until and unless there is a mention about the previous agreement in the present agreement the first agreement will not be effective if there is a second agreement is forced into the company

2. Second agreement may over take the previous agreement.

For both questions answer is one the second agreement will be binding first will get omitted.

As per The Indian Contract Act, 1872

Similarities between Cross offer and Counter offer

Cross offer and counter offer in both cases when the second-time offer is made to first party the second one become invitation to offer.

1) second agreement supersedes the earlier agreement

2) it amounts to novation of contract

3)section 62 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, provides as under:

“If the parties to a contract agree to substitute a new contract for it, or to rescind or alter it, the original contract need not be performed.”

Do you have any "hierarchy" or "order of preference clause" in ant of the two agreements

1.Onky after perusing the agreements it can be forst opined whther the agreement are supplementary or exclsuisve to each other.

2. if the terms of the first agreement are materially replaced both in terms of performance and price then the second agreement would be considered to revoke the first one and it alone will hold the filed.

3.if it is not but only executed with a view to aid or supplant few missing clauses then it would be considered as supplementary agreement only and in that context both the agreement would be taken into consideration to adjudicate the dispute, if any.

4. In other words unless I can manage to see both the agreements I can not advise properly on this account except mentioning the general provision of law governing the similar field.

Second agreement

Whenever there's a conflict between the first and the second Agreement, the first will prevail over the second.

Other than than, the two Agreements have ti be read and interpreted in harmony.

As per S.29 of the act, if both agreements are in force, then Agreements, the meaning of which is not certain, or capable of being made certain, are void.

For example: (a) A agrees to sell to B “a hundred tons of oil”. There is nothing whatever to show what kind of oil was intended. The agreement is void for uncertainty.

As per S.62 of the contract act, If the parties to a contract agree to substitute a new contract for it, or to rescind or alter it, the original contract, need not be performed.

1. If the said two contradictory agreements have been executed by the two parties on the same issue and for the same purpose then how have they been executed without replacing or suppressing the earlier one? In the above case, the registered one will ordinarily be claimed to be valid. If none were registered, then the last one will be claimed to be in suppression of the earlier one and hence valid.

2. The registered one or the last one if none were registered for reasons explained above will be considered as binding on both the parties.

1. The agreement made later will be valid and the clauses of the same will be enforced.

2. The agreement made later will be valid.

Three sort of situation may arise in this case -

1. If the second contract is in continuance to the first contract for the same job which was being undertaken with the help of first contract then the second contract will be applicable on the parties as the first contract will be superseded by the second contract.

2. If the second contract and the first contract are in between the same parties but for two different assignment or job then both the contracts will be applicable and such clauses which are contradictory to each other will be read through harmonious interpretation giving equal value to both the clauses which are contradictory to each other. This job of doing the harmonious interpretation is of the court and not of the parties per se.

3. If the second contract and the first contract is in between the same parties but for different job and if it is written that for all purposes the second contract will supersede the first contract and all the previous contract is null and void with the signing of second contract then only the second contract will be considered for all purposes. In case even the job are same but same thing is mentioned in the contract that it will supersede all previous contract then again it will be the clauses of second contract which will be considered for all purposes and not the first one.

Sir

As you have not stated what sort of agreement you have entered. Taking the matter generally :-

The first one is the mother one and the next one is the added/ supplementary agreement by entering new clauses.

If the matter goes to the court both the agreement will be taken up together.

The applicability will depend upon the clauses of the both agreement.

Thanks
