In central inland water transport corpn v/s Brojonath Ganguly 1986 (3) scc 156 the supreme court held that any term which is so unfair and unreasonable as to shock the conscience of the court would be opposed to public policy therefore also void under section 23 of the contract act.The contract was not based upon a real consent .It was rather an imposition upon a needy person.The term is unconstitutional because it was so absolute that any officer could be made a target irrespective of his conduct good or bad.
This matter not fall under section 138 NI act.
Don't worry, be happy.
