Correct Answer:
B. Void
A sub-lease executed without the required consent is generally considered Void. This foundational concept in contract and property law dictates that if a prerequisite condition, such as obtaining consent from the original lessor or competent authority, is not met, the subsequent agreement (the sub-lease) lacks legal validity from its inception. It has no legal effect and cannot be enforced.
- "Valid 1 year" is incorrect; the absence of consent renders it immediately invalid.
- "Valid if registered" is false; registration provides public notice but cannot cure a fundamental defect like the lack of necessary consent.
- "Valid for agriculture" is irrelevant to the legal requirement of consent for a sub-lease.
