Satellite antenna ‘damaged’ during transit, logistics company ordered to pay Rs 64 lakh
The District Consumer Commission in Hyderabad recently ordered a logistics company to pay Rs 63.94 lakh after a satellite communication antenna was damaged during transit from Hyderabad to New Delhi. The incident occurred when the antenna, attached to a vehicle transporting an MCT-SUV PP2 system, collided with an Arjungarh Metro station platform.
The complainant, an insurance company, settled the claim of Rs 63.94 lakh, and the logistics firm was ordered to pay the amount along with Rs 20,000 in costs. The commission found that the damage was caused by the negligence of the logistics firm, which failed to maintain sufficient clearance while transporting the consignment.
