Explanation

Section 69 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 states that a person who finds goods belonging to another and takes them into his custody is subject to the same responsibility as a bailee. The finder must, as soon as possible, try to find the true owner and return the goods. This makes a finder a bailee for the purpose of the responsibilities towards the goods, requiring due care and efforts to locate the owner.
