It seems to us that having regard to the purpose of the bond, it will be more than ample if the firm executes a bond to secure the proper working of the warehouse to the value of Rs. 50,000/-the security being tested. Such security may be offered by the firm itself on the basis of its assets and if these assets of the firm will suffice to secure that amount, there is no need whatever to ask for solvency certificate of each of the partners separately. The Department could proceed on those lines. There will be a direction accordingly.3. The appeal is allowed in those terms. No. costs....
