When a contract is caused by coercion, fraud or misrepresentation is voidable at the option of other party. In case of undue influence, court can set aside the contract. In all these cases, the aggrived party have an option to use civil/criminal laws to claim damages.

In what sence , sir "civil/criminal law"?

Civil law deals with non-criminal cases. Criminal law deals with criminal cases. For e.g. Indian Penal Code. It is outside the scope of your study.
