ALL CARGO MOVERS(I) PVT.LTD. vs DHANESH BADARMAL JAIN

The Supreme Court addressed a dispute arising from a contract of carriage, emphasizing the necessity of presenting original Bills of Lading for the delivery of goods as per established international practices. The Court held that the failure to adhere to this requirement constituted negligence and a breach of contract, thereby entitling the complainant to claim damages. The judgment reinforced the legal principle that carriers must comply with their contractual obligations to avoid liability for negligence under the Indian Contract Act, 1872.
