P left his carriage on D’s premises. Landlord of D seized the carriage against the rent due from D. P paid the rent and got his carriage released. Can P recover the amount from D?

Section 69 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 states that a person who is interested in the payment of money which another person is bound by law to pay, and who therefore pays it, is entitled to get it reimbursed by the other. In the present case, D was lawfully bound to pay rent. P was interested in making the payment to D’s landlord as his carriage was seized by him. Hence being an interested party, P made the payment and can recover the same from D.
