TABLE OF CASES
These are dealt within Chap. IX from S.148 to 181 of the Indian
Contract Act, 1872 deals with the general concept of bailment. The
circumstance in which this happens are numerous. Delivering a cycle,
watch or any other article for repair, delivering gold to a goldsmith for
making ornaments, delivering garments to a drycleaner, delivering goods
for carriage, etc. are all familiar situations which create the relationship

Duty not to make unauthorized use (section 154): Section 154 says
that if the bailee makes any use of the goods bailed which is not

bailor’s good without bailor’s consent. If he does so, and if the goods are
separable, he is responsible for separating them and if they are not

to return or deliver according to the bailor’s directions, the goods bailed,
without demand, as soon as the time for which they were bailed has

were bailed or after the purpose for which they were bailed has been
accomplished, it will be at bailee’s risk and he will be responsible for any
loss or damage to the goods arising howsoever.

burnt in an accidental file. The defendants were held liable for the loss of

true construction art 26 applied both to damage to baggage (and the contents)
and to loss of contents. The plaintiff was therefore required to lodge a complaint
for the lost articles within seven days of receiving his baggage, and as the only
complaint he had made did not refer to the loss of any articles but only the
damage to his suitcase his claimed failed. The airline's appeal would accordingly
