26. We have already reproduced the provisions of Sections 6, 8
and 9 above. Section 6 enables the common carrier to limit his
liability by a special contract. But the special contract will not
absolve the carrier if the damage or loss to the goods, entrusted
to him, has been caused by his own. negligence or criminal act
or that of his agents or servants. In that situation, the carrier
would be liable for the damage to or loss or non-delivery of
goods. In this situation, if a suit is filed for recovery of
damages, the burden of proof will not be on the owner or the
plaintiff to show that the loss or as damage was caused owing
to the negligence or criminal act of the carrier provided by
Section 9. The carrier can escape his liability only if it is
established that the loss or damage was due to an act of God or
enemies of the State (or the enemies of the King, a phrase used
by the Privy Council). The Calcutta decision in The British &
