All India Power Engineer Federation & ... vs Sasan Power Ltd. & Ors. Etc on 8 December, 2016

The Indian Contract Act of 1872 applies to all contracts in India and with regard to a pawn is a codification of the English common law. Speaking of the common law right to sell Mr. Justice Story in his commentaries on the Law of Bailments, eighth edition, says at p. 262:— “Another right resulting, by the common law, from the contract of pledge is the right to sell the pledge, where there has been a default in the pledge in complying with his engagement, but a sale before default would be a conversion. Such a right does not divest the general property of the pawner but still leave in him (as we shall presently see) a right of redemption.” And at p. 263:— “The common law of England, existing in the time of Glanville, seems to have required a judicial process to justify the sale, or at least to destroy the right of redemption. But the law as at present established leaves an election to the pawnee. He may file a bill in equity against the pawner for a foreclosure and sale; or, he may proceed to sell ex mero motu, upon giving notice of his intention to the pledger.” The terms of an instrument of pledge, such as there is in this case, giving an unqualified power of sale, are inconsistent with the provisions of s. 176 of the Indian Contract Act, and, therefore, by virtue of s. 1 of that Act must give place to the express provisions of the Act: See Chitguppi & Co. v. Vinaya Kashinath [(1920) 45 Bom. 157, s.c.22 Bom L.R. 959] .

With respect to the learned Judge the view expressed by him runs counter to the decision of the Privy Council in Hodges v. Delhi and London Bank Ltd. Reliance placed by Mr. Dwarkadas on the division bench decision in K. R. Chitguppi Company's case is totally misconceived.
