An agreement of bond is illegal and therefore, the agreement made in the stamp paper (which itself is stale because the validity of a stamp paper is six months from its date of issue!!) need not be taken seriously.

I think non judicial stamp paper has validity for six months, but what about judicial stamp paper.
