Section 222 of ICA : Section 222: Agent To Be Indemnified Against Consequences Of Lawful Acts

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where Raj, a book publisher in Delhi, hires Anita, a freelance graphic designer, to create book covers for his upcoming series. Anita, following the specifications provided by Raj, designs the covers and contracts with a printing company to produce a sample batch, as per Raj's instructions. However, after the samples are made, Raj decides to change the design direction and refuses to pay for the already produced samples. The printing company then demands payment from Anita for the work done. Since Anita was acting within the scope of her authority given by Raj, he is legally required to indemnify Anita for the costs incurred with the printing company.
