Bharathi Knitting Company vs Dhl Worldwide Express Courier Division ... on 9 May, 1996
In support of the submission,
strong reliance was placed on the decision in Bharathi Knitting
Company v. DHL Worldwide Express Courier Division of
Airfreight Ltd., II (1996) CPJ 25 (SC). Under the said receipt the
liability for loss of a booked parcel is limited to Rs.50 only. Said
decision supports the submission in regard to the liability of petitioner
being restricted only upto Rs.50/- in this case. Amount as awarded by
the District Forum includes the value of booked parcel as Rs.42,000
which is to be reduced to Rs.50. Order passed by the State
Commission, thus, deserves to be modified to that extent. Interest will
be payable on this modified amount. Order accordingly."
