Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Railway Claims Tribunal and the High Court, affirming that the petitioner failed to serve a valid notice under Section 106 of the Railways Act, 1989, and that the consignee had accepted the entire consignment without protest. The Court ruled that the application for compensation was rightly dismissed due to lack of evidence for short delivery and non-compliance with procedural requirements. Consequently, the special leave petition was dismissed, maintaining the lower courts' findings.
