We had filed an FIR against a defaulter and had him arrested. Subsequently, he agreed to clear our dues. Hence an agreement was signed between us while he was under arrest, whereby he agreed to clear our dues, arranged part-payment and we agreed not to oppose his bail. He got out on bail, but claimed that he was forced to sign under co-ersion and that the agreement is invalid. Can a person enter into a valid contract while under arrest ? Case rlaws would be useful.
