Case Summary: C.A. No. 006977/2001 Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed the Tamil Nadu Water Supply & Drainage Board's appeal with no costs awarded. The court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the suit against N. Mahalingam, finding insufficient foundational facts to enforce the respondent's alleged surety obligations. Key Issue: The Board sought Rs. 40 lakhs from Mahalingam, who had executed a personal security bond in 1971 as surety for advances given to Shakthi Pipes Limited for raw materials procurement. The court held that because the Board neither pleaded nor proved any breach of contract by the company—which was essential to establish Mahalingam's liability as an indemnor—enforcement of his surety obligations failed.
