Q14

The position of finder of goods is same as that of

A.
Bailor
B.
Bailee
Answer
C.
Creditor
D.
True owner

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
The position of a finder of goods is similar to that of a bailee under the Sale of Goods Act. A bailee is a person who is entrusted with the possession of goods by the owner (bailor) for a specific purpose. Similarly, a finder of goods is a person who comes into possession of goods that are lost or abandoned by their true owner.

Both the bailee and the finder of goods have a duty to take care of the goods and act in the best interest of the owner. They do not acquire ownership of the goods but are responsible for their safekeeping and eventual return to the rightful owner.

Option A: Bailor, Option C: Creditor, and Option D: True owner are not the correct answers as they do not accurately represent the position of a finder of goods under the Sale of Goods Act.

Given the options provided, the correct answer is Option B: Bailee.
