The officials of transport company had contacted them and assured of providing best services. The complainant then booked two bundles of handloom goods with them at their local branch office on October 30, 2000 after making a payment of Rs 934. The goods were to be delivered at Silapather (Assam) and were valued at Rs 28,348. They were informed that the goods receipt (GR) was drawn on self. So, the goods were to be released on presentation of original GR at the destination. The relevant GR and other documents were to be transited through the bank by the complainant and the customer at Silapather was to get the documents from the bank after making the payment. Thereafter, on production of original GR, the transport company was to give delivery of the goods to the customer. However, the customer failed to get the documents from the bank and the bank officials returned the original documents and the GR to the complainant. Thereafter, the transport company was requested to re-book the goods from Silapather to Ludhiana. But they failed to return the goods despite several reminders. The transport company wrote back asking the complainant to collect the goods from Guwahati. Following this, the accountant of complainant firm, Mr Sudarshan Kumar, visited Guwahati but could not get back the goods as they were not traceable. Seeing the deficiency on part of transport company, the complainant moved the forum. No one from the transport company appeared before the forum despite being served summons. They were proceeded ex parte. After scrutinising the evidence produced by the complainant, the forum found negligence on part of the the transport company and passed the orders.

about the neurological disorders made the people easy prey to quacks.
Since majority of the victims were unaware of the approach to common
ailments like headache, they would keep on getting unnecessary
investigations like CT/MRI without any specific treatment whereas most
of such ailments could be cured through economical treatment. Dr
Bhatia examined more than 170 patients during the day-long camp. Mr
Amarjit Singh Titu, Municipal Commissioner, while inaugurating the
camp, lauded the institution for bringing world-class healthcare to
the doorstep of the people in smalltowns of Punjab. Dr Rahul Bhan,
consultant orthopedician at Apollo Hospitals, examined more than 175
patients . He commented that awareness about diseases like arthritis
and musculo-skeletal disorders would enable the elderly persons to get
timely treatment. |
