Section 157 – THE INDIAN CONTRACT ACT, 1872

Effect of mixture, without bailor’s consent, when the goods cannot be separated.

—If the bailee, without the consent of the bailor, mixes the goods of the bailor with his own goods, in such a
manner that it is impossible to separate the goods bailed from the other goods, and deliver them back, the
bailor is entitled to be compensated by the bailee for the loss of the goods.
