Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed an appeal under Article 136 against the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission's order regarding liability for damaged goods during transportation. The Court upheld the finding that the appellant, as a common carrier, was liable for negligence under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, specifically noting the insurer's responsibility for goods in transit. The Court clarified the legal question of whether the appellant could reclaim the damaged pumps while being liable to pay for them, ultimately correcting a prior order for clarity.
