Consumer Forum
Chandigarh, April 5 The Commission has observed that the entire case filed by the Glass Palace against the insurance company for not delivering their consignment “smacks of a fraud”. The Complainant Ajay Gupta, proprietor of Glass Palace, had claimed that he had insured goods, including woods and brass furniture, under Marine Policy Cover on February 6, 2009, and amended Marine Cargo Endorsement on March 17, 2009, for Rs 45.85 lakh after paying premium of Rs 4,586. In his complaint, he had stated that the consignment was to be sent to M/s Beverley Howard Inc. Canada from Chandigarh Warehouse via Transshipment Port Colombo (Sri Lanka) by sea/rail/road. Unfortunately, when the cargo arrived in Toranto, it was found by the consignee that the same did not belong to him. After investigation, it was discovered that the cargo had interchanged in transit at Colombo in Sri Lanka with some other consignment. Gupta stated that the consignee did not take the delivery of the wrong consignment and immediately informed the consignor as well as the Insurance Company. He said he subsequently lodged the complaint with the shipping line and also informed the Insurance Company for the claim. His claim was disputed by the Insurance Company, which maintained that the invoice-cum-packing list document and the purchase order were all fake, as the articles mentioned therein lacked any description to their quality or catalogue number. Further, they stated that the entire problem arose due to the fault of the Waterway Container Lines, through which the consignment was sent and allegedly misplaced because the goods of other consignees have also been stuffed in the same container in which the goods of the complainant were stuffed. In this manner, it was clear that the entire fault was that of the shipping line, which caused this alleged swapping of the goods. Interestingly, the address of Waterway Container Lines, LIG 219, Sarita Vihar, New Delhi, was also found to be fake. The Commission observed that if the goods were to be taken from Mumbai to Canada, it was not understood as to why the complainant intended to take the same to Colombo and why the trans-shipment port was sought to be at Colombo. The respondent stated that the complainant had asked from the very beginning to take the shipment to Colombo as where it could be possible to de-load the consignment under the garb of mis-description and after swapping the goods, to take the remaining goods to Canada. It was for this purpose in view that they changed the shipping company. Interestingly, the Insurance Company produced reports of Truth Lab showing that all the e-mails of Waterway Containers Lines Pte. Ltd., Singapore and Beverley Howard Inc. Canada, which were supposed to be in their respective countries, had originated from IP address of Airtel broadband, Chandigarh, and the e-mails sent from the IP address No.122173.6.24, which belonged to the same owner and same computer machine in Chandigarh.

Special CBI court starts functioning in Panchkula
Cases shifted to Panchkula
CBI court from Ambala
Panchkula, April 5 Additional District and Session Judge AS Narang is the Judge of the CBI court, which has been shifted here after closing the Ambala CBI court. The sources said that the CBI Session Court had been shifted and in the next few days the CBI Magistrate Court, which was still functioning from Ambala, would also be shifted here. The state government had issued notification after receiving green signal from the Union Home Ministry for starting a CBI court from Panchkula. Since there is huge rush of litigants on the ground floor in the district court complex, the government has allotted first floor to the CBI. Initially, the state government had demanded a special CBI court in Sirsa district along with already functioning CBI court in Ambala. But the CBI Zonal headquarters in Chandigarh had urged the Union Home Ministry that if the CBI court was coming up in the state then it should be in Panchkula. CBI officials while giving reason in their letter, had stated that their headquarters was at Chandigarh and therefore it would be easy for them to attend court proceedings in Panchkula rather than Sirsa, which was around 300 km from Chandigarh. While accepting the letter of the CBI headquarters, the Union Home Ministry in their communication forwarded to the state government cleared that the Panchkula court would not be any kind of additional court in the state. After closing down the Ambala court, all the cases in Ambala would be transferred to the Panchkula CBI court, it added.
