to impress upon the Court that when the duties and responsibilities have
not been notified, the question of negligence, much less willful negligence
cannot be established. The learned counsel for the revision petitioner had
further contended that the suitcase containing Rs.12,00,000/- collected
from the Branch Officer was left in the Jeep at the request of the Jeep
driver. Missing of the said suitcase was found only when they reached
the Head-Office after collecting Rs.11,00,000/- from the other branch.
Therefore, the Jeep driver was the only person who was in the custody of
the cash. After exonerating the said Jeep driver, the liability cannot be
mulcted upon the Assistant who had entered into another branch for
collection.
