SACE-II

“Arising of bailment is always a matter of debate, the moot point being, whether it arises only
out of Contract or can be incidental by implication of laws and facts. In the case of Ram
Gulamv. Govt. of U.P., the Court was of the opinion that the obligation of bailee is a
contractual obligation, which flows from the Contract of Bailment, and it cannot arise
without the existence of the Contract. However, in the case of L.M. Co-Operative Bank v.
Prabhudas Hathibhai, the Court held a contrary opinion. Due to the difference in opinions of
different Courts, the Law Commission of India examined this issue in detail. Moreover, in its
13th Report, the Law Commission came up with a relevant recommendation.”

In the light of above statement, discuss the Indian Statutory provisions with regard to the
arising of the contract of bailment by referring decided cases and the relevant reports of the
Law Commission of India. Also compare the position in America and England in this regard.
