a consideration barred by law is unlawful and cannot form basis for a legal recourse. for example if a person is promised a condsideration of Rs ten lakhs to murder somebody , he cannot knock the doors of law if he is not paid the sum,simply because the consideration of money is for murder undertaken by him which is barred by law. so he cannot enforce any legal measure for his unlawful consideration. SIMILARLY A HAWALA TRANSACTION OR FOR THAT MATTER ANY UNLAWFUL CONSIDERATION CANNOT BE ENFORCED BY LAW. R.V.RAO
