The bailor has the right to have the property returned in a safe condition when the bailment ends.

The bailee is liable for all injuries to the property from failure to properly care for or use it. Once the purpose of the bailment has been completed, the bailee usually must return the property to the bailor, or account for it, depending upon the terms of the contract.
1. A gratuitous bailor need only warn the bailee of latent defects within the bailor's knowledge that are not obvious or readily discernible. 2. A gratuitous bailor has no duty to inspect the property to ensure its condition, unless it is inherently dangerous.
The duty of the bailee is to return the goods without demand on the accomplishment of the purpose or the expiration of the time period. In case of his failure to do so, he shall be liable for the loss, destruction, deterioration, damages or destruction of goods even without negligence.
When a bailor receives the sole benefit from the bailment, the bailee has a lesser duty to care for the property and is financially responsible only if he or she has been grossly negligent or has acted in bad faith in taking care of the property.
According to section 151, it is the duty of a bailee to take care of goods bailed to him. Bailee should take care of these goods as an ordinary man will take care of his goods of the same value, quality, and quantity.
As per the section 148 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, a bailment is a contract where one person delivers goods to another person for some purpose. The person delivering the goods is the Bailor and the person receiving the goods is the Bailee.
In a mutual benefit bailment, the standard of care is that of reasonable care. Failure to use reasonable care may subject the bailee to liability for any damages that may occur, unless the bailee limits its liability.
