Butterworth’s Encyclopaedia of Forms and Precedents defines a ‘bond’ as a deed whereby one person binds himself to another for the payment of a specified sum of money either immediately or at a fixed future date or whereby several people bind themselves jointly or jointly and severally to one or more persons to the same effect.
Bond may be for payment of penalty or liquidated damages. An agreement to pay a pre-existing liability under a document or any law by instalment or otherwise is not a bond.
The Indian Contract Act, 1872 makes statutory provisions governing rights and obligations of the principal and the agent. Section 182 defines “an agent” as a person employed to do any act for another or to represent another in dealings with third persons. The person for whom such act is done or who is so represented is called “the Principal”. But every person, who does something for the other is not necessarily an agent, for example, a contractor employed to carry on some construction work is not necessarily the agent of the principal. A servant may be technically an agent of the master but he is not strictly an agent in as much as he has to act entirely under the orders of the master as to how anything needs to be done. An agent has more authority and independence to function in comparison to that of a servant.
