Please carefully read section 2 and more especially section 2(d) and section 25 of the Indian Contract Act.

It appears you could not follow me otherwise you must have responded.

The document though in writing but unregistered and has been made for no consideration hence the same is void ab initio in view of provisions I requested you to tour.
It is not enforceable at all.What to talk about specifically?
