Dr.M.I.Itty vs Kerala Financial Corporation on 5 April, 2010

21. Section 141 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 stipulates that a W.A.No.2002 of 2006 -:34:- surety is entitled to the benefit of every security which the creditor has against the principal debtor at the time when the contract of suretyship is entered into, whether the surety knows of the existence of such security or not; and if the creditor loses, or without the consent of the surety, parts with such security, the surety is discharged to the extent of the value of the security. The Apex Court has in Industrial Finance Corporation of India Ltd. v. Cannanore Spinning and Weaving Mills Ltd. and others, (supra) interpreting Section 141 of the Indian Contract Act held that where there was no deliberate act on the part of the principal debtor which led to the loss of the security and the security was lost not by any definite act of the creditor or the debtor, but by the operation of law over which none of the parties had any control, it cannot be said that the surety is discharged. The Apex Court also negatived the contention that by reason of the non-availability of the security in terms of Section 141 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, the contract of guarantee stood frustrated. Therefore, the guarantors cannot be heard to contend that as the security offered by the company, the principal debtor, has been lost, they are discharged to the extent of the value of the security. In the light of the authoritative pronouncement of the Apex Court, the contention based on Sections 140 and 141 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 cannot be sustained.

12. Mr. S. B. Vakil, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the respondent No. 1-Bank in both the Appeals, has strongly supported the order passed by the learned Civil Judge and submitted that the learned Judge has discussed at length all the issues which are raised before him and after considering the relevant statutory provisions as well as authorities on the subject, had taken the correct view and the same may not be disturbed by this Court in these appeals.
