In the case of Hatton V. Car Maintenance Company, Limited, the owner of the car and the company entered into an agreement in which the condition was to maintain, repair and supply sufficient gasoline to the car. The owner was supposed to pay Rs. 8000 to the owner of the company, but the company did not receive the above amount. Then the company exercised the privilege over the car. In general, service providers receive the privilege of a general privilege. These identity service providers reserve the right to withhold the goods deposited with them in the interest of a general balance due to their customer. This particular article is very careful to restrict the use of general privileges by stating that no one reserves the right to assert a general privilege unless the parties have expressly provided for it in their contract. Privilege is considered a “primitive remedy” and customary law does not promote it, but has only taken note of it. A general privilege could particularly hinder trade and industry, as anyone can keep each other`s property. A privilege only reserves the right to retain ownership of the customer. If there is a condition that the rights of the customer are considered limited, since the vicarious agents are the third parties of the contract, the privilege is also limited. A privilege is lost when the agent actually loses possession.

The agent manages to hand over the property to the agent, by one of the means, the privilege is lost. In one particular case in Rushforth v. Hadfield, some freight forwarders have attempted to assert a general privilege on the grounds of the application of commercial and industrial practice. He carefully pointed out that in the case of a general privilege, there is a disadvantage if there is an insolvency case. In this particular case, it has also been found that the general privilege causes a lot of inconvenience when it comes to the general public of traders, as it gives many advantages to certain people, a special privilege that claims to have the special privilege over the body of creditors, rather than coming with them to be insolvent for the good of the state. A general privilege is defined in section 171 of the Indian Contract Act 1872. Section 171 deals with the general privilege of bankers, letter carriers, Wharfingers, lawyers and policy brokers who, in the absence of a contract to the contrary, retain as security the general balance of the account and all property deposited with them, unless there is an express contract for that purpose. The lawyer or solicitor also reserves a general privilege when it comes to paying fees for the services he or she provides. In the landmark case of R.D Saxena v. Balram, the Supreme Court has made it clear that lawyers` documents on privilege are not entitled to fees, which are considered unpaid. The Indian Contract Act of 1872 stipulated that the right to a special privilege was available to the bailee under certain conditions. The most important condition in other conditions is the exercise of skills or work related to the rescued goods.

In addition, it has been very often stressed that the skills or work done by the baileee must be such that the mayor will improve the quality of the goods. This particular section gives the officer the right to retain goods that would not be part of the possession until the fees are paid. However, this does not mean that the agent has the right to sell the goods. If the customer pledges the goods, then the customer becomes a pledge. And the lien on these goods is not governed by section 221 of the Indian Contract Act of 1872, but by the provisions of the Bailment and Pledge. The insurance agent also has a right with respect to general privilege. His rights extend to the customers who have taken out the insurance policy, as well as the amount to which he is entitled and which the customer must pay. A general lien is a right to withhold possession for payment of the amount due, even if the payment is not related to the property in question.

Privilege is one of the rights a person has to retain possession of property belonging to another person until the claim of the person in charge is satisfied. Under the Indian Contract Act of 1872, the bailee is free to use or exploit the lien in a bail contract. In other words, if the seller does not sell its goods on credit, it expects the buyer to immediately pay the amount of the goods. And if the buyer refuses to pay or expresses his reluctance to pay the price, the seller can exercise the privilege and keep the goods with him until the buyer has paid the full amount. In my view, general privilege is a much more effective tool for securing the stock of debt. However, it is subject to its own limitations and risks, in particular from the point of view of potential liability. Essentially, if there is a general operator who is trying to exercise a privilege and then decides to get the case through something that can be difficult, such as a matter of trade negotiations until a successful conclusion. The importance of privilege comes into play when it comes to covering the necessary and additional orbit costs that the seller or agent reserves.

In gopaldas v. Thakurdas, the High Court considered the provision of the agent`s privilege. The agent was the hiring company of agents who brought goods for customers under their control. Even the customer provided the money for the purchase of the goods. But at other times, the agent spent the money out of his own pocket. The special privilege of the bailiff, specified in Article 170, stipulates that if the surety has provided a service involving an activity such as the exercise of professional powers in relation to the property deposited against surety in accordance with the purpose of the deposit, in the absence of a contract to the contrary, he has the right to retain this type of property, until he receives appropriate remuneration for the services he provides. Respect for them. The word dock refers to a place adjacent to water and used to load and unload goods. This means as a general privilege that the goods are deposited with him until the Wharfingers, which are the fees due for the wharf, are paid. The privilege was of the nature of the remedy and it was recognized as a right. The contract of privilege was based on the fact that it did not exist between the parties and that the party had its rights because it was imposed by the common law courts.

Section 170 of the Indian Contracts Act, 1872 deals with a particular privilege, while section 171 deals with general privilege. The lien can be exercised by the unpaid seller at the end of the term of the loan. In the event that the seller has sold the goods on a credit basis, the seller may keep the goods with him if the buyer is not willing to pay the amount after the expiry of the loan term. .
