Q.1
Q.1: Answer any six in two sentences
12 Marks - 2 marks each
(a)Who is the indemnity-holder and the indemnifier? Explain with a suitable illustration.[2]
Answer
In "a contract by which one party promises to save the other from loss caused to him by the conduct of the promisor himself, or by the conduct of any other person" (section 124 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872), the party who promises is the indemnifier. The party protected is the indemnity holder.
Example. A contracts to indemnify B against the consequences of proceedings which C may take against B for Rs 200 (the illustration to section 124). A is the indemnifier and B the indemnity holder.
The holder's rights. Acting within his authority, he may recover the damages he is made to pay, and his costs if he acted prudently. He may also recover sums paid under a prudent compromise (section 125).
Gajanan Moreshwar Parelkar v. Moreshwar Madan Mantri, AIR 1942 Bom 302. At the defendant's request, the plaintiff mortgaged land in his name for the defendant's debts, and the defendant promised to clear them. The plaintiff sued before paying anything himself. The Bombay High Court held that sections 124 and 125 are not exhaustive. Once the indemnity holder's liability is absolute, he may make the indemnifier pay it off.
So the indemnifier promises to bear the loss, and the indemnity holder is the one he protects.
