<h1>Section 145 Indian Contract Act: Surety's Right to Indemnity from Principal Debtor in Guarantee Contracts Explained.</h1> Section 145 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, establishes an implied promise by the principal debtor to indemnify the surety in a contract of guarantee. The surety is entitled to recover from the principal debtor any amount rightfully paid under the guarantee. However, the surety cannot recover any sums paid wrongfully. Illustrations clarify that the surety can recover costs if payment was made with reasonable grounds, but not if the defense was without merit. Additionally, recovery is limited to the actual amount owed or supplied, not exceeding the guaranteed amount.
