The law on the subject is very clear. The lower Appellate Court ought to have quoted Section 135 of the Contract Act to enable this Court to understand his observations. Section 135 of the Contract Act lays down: &#8220;A contract between the creditor and the principal debtor, by which the creditor makes a composition with, or promises to give time to, or not to sue, the principal debtor, discharges the surety, unless the surety assents to such contract.&#8221; In the present case before a decree was passed Batuk Prasad agreed to pay the decretal amount of decree to be passed in case the defendant of that suit failed to do so. The creditor entered into a composition with the defendant and promised to give him three months&#8217; time to pay up the decretal amount. This was done without obtaining the assent of Batuk Prasad. Batuk Prasad was, therefore, discharged from his liability under the provisions of the law quoted above. This appeal is dismissed with costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Allahabad High Court Kunj Lal And Anr. vs Munshi Batuk Prasad on 14 June, 1929 Equivalent citations: 120 Ind Cas 552 Author: Dalai Bench: Dalai JUDGMENT Dalai, J. 1.
