G paid Rs.1,00,000 to H to influence the head of the Government Organisation in order to provide him some employment. On his failure to provide the job, G sued H for recovery of the amount. Which of the following is correct?

Contracts to influence public officials are void under Section 23 of Indian Contract Act as opposed to public policy. G paid bribes for employment - this is illegal consideration. Courts will not enforce such contracts or assist in recovering money paid under them. G cannot recover the amount as courts leave parties where they find them for illegal contracts.
