Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the liability of a common carrier under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, specifically regarding the appellant's obligation to pay for damaged goods while also seeking the return of those goods. The Court held that the appellant, having been found liable for the price of the monoblock pumps to the respondents, could not claim the return of the damaged pumps from respondent No.3. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions regarding the liability and interest rates awarded.
