Answer Posted / sudhi chauhan

1.In casevof a contract of gaurantee there are three parties,but in contract of indemnity there are two parties,one who is indemnified other the indemnifior
2.A contract of gaurantee presupposes the principal debtor,a contract of indemnity is an original and direct engagement and may be made independently without the existence of a third party
