Section 44:
Effect of release of one joint promisor.
Where two or more persons have made a joint
promise, a release of one of such joint promisors by the promisee does not discharge the other joint
promisor or joint promisors neither does it free the joint promisors so released from responsibility to the
other joint promisor or joint promisors.1
