The consignee was self. The consignments were to be delivered to M/s J.K. Synthetics at Jhalawar after retirement of documents from the named banker of the complainant. However, M/s J.K. Synthetics failed to retire the documents from the bankers of the complainant who returned the documents to the complainant after two years. Only then the complainant came to know that the OP had released the consignment to M/s J.K. Synthetics without obtaining the bank release order from it. M/s J.K. Synthetics has not paid the price of the goods to the complainant despite demand. Hence the complainant is claiming Rs. 6,67,091/-,a the cost of the consignment from the OP besides Rs. 3.00 lakhs as compensation.
