According to Mian, RLI believed that it was in its financial interest to obtain payment under the bond because the project was going over budget and Dillon was becoming insolvent.
In short, Mian has failed to plead facts that would support a finding that defendant acted with malice or employed fraudulent or illegal means to induce the breach of the contract between Dillon and Mian, and, thus, the sixth and eighth causes of action in the third-party complaint must be dismissed as asserted against RLI.
Accordingly, that branch of RLI's motion, pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(7) seeking dismissal of the sixth, eighth and ninth causes of action in the third-party complaint as asserted against it is granted and the third-party complaint is dismissed as against RLI.

 Indian Music and Mian Tansen - Chapter 3   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Mian Tansen, the greatest disciple of the saint and musical seer, Swami Haridas of Vrindaban, was the central figure around whom a renaissance of Hindusthani music took place.
The new features added during this period could never be brushed aside, for in the teaching of Tansen could be found the key that incorporated and federated the musical arts of India and the Middle East through a rhythmic pattern that was however India's own creation.
If we sincerely aspire to revive the glory of the classical music of the North, we have to turn our attention to researches on the music of Tansen's line and for that purpose the establishment of centre for research on the Tansen School of music is urgently required.
