      Plaintiff in O.S.151 of 1989 on the file of Sub Court, Cochin<\/p>\n
is the appellant. Defendants are the respondents. Suit was filed<\/p>\n
for realisation of damages caused to the consignment sent<\/p>\n
through Indian Airlines flight. Appellant placed orders with a<\/p>\n
West German Company for purchase of spare parts of the<\/p>\n
machinery.     The consignment was sent from Frankfurt, West<\/p>\n
Germany to Cochin. It was sent by Swiss Air from Frankfurt to<\/p>\n
Bombay. From Bombay it was rebooked to Cochin by Indian<\/p>\n
Airlines flight. The goods arrived at Cochin Airport. As per letter<\/p>\n
dated 18.9.1987, appellant was directed to take delivery of the<\/p>\n
goods after customs clearance. Appellant contended that on<\/p>\n
verification of the spare parts of the machinery, it was found that<\/p>\n
damages were caused to the machinery.                             Surveyors were<\/p>\n
instructed to assess the damages. The Surveyor, under Ext.A11<\/p>\n
report, fixed the damages at Rs.13,271\/-. Suit is filed for<\/p>\n
realisation of the same with interest @ 18%                           per annum<\/p>\n
contending that damage was caused due to the negligent act of<\/p>\n
respondents.     Respondents resisted the suit contending that<\/p>\n
SA 369\/1994                      2<\/span><\/p>\n
consignment was sent from        Frankfurt to Bombay and from<\/p>\n
Bombay to Cochin on a consolidated cargo and the first leg of<\/p>\n
transport from Frankfurt to Bombay was by Swiss Air and it was<\/p>\n
booked for delivery to the consignee, at Bombay through Indian<\/p>\n
Airlines and suit is bad for non-impleading the Swiss Air. It was<\/p>\n
also contended that notice was not issued within 14 days of<\/p>\n
taking delivery and damage was not caused by respondents and<\/p>\n
hence appellant is not entitled to the decree sought for.<\/p>\n
     2. Learned Sub Judge, on the evidence of Pws 1 to 3, DW1,<\/p>\n
Exts.A1 to A23 and Exts.B1 to B4, dismissed the suit holding that<\/p>\n
though Ext.A11 Survey report establish that appellant suffered<\/p>\n
damages in respect of the consignment, suit is bad for non-<\/p>\n
impleading of Swiss Air through which the consignment was sent<\/p>\n
from Frankfurt to Bombay. It was also found that there is no<\/p>\n
evidence to prove that damage was caused to the consignment<\/p>\n
while it was being carried from Bombay to Cochin. Appellant<\/p>\n
challenged the judgment before District Court, Ernakulam in<\/p>\n
A.S.15 of 1991. Learned Additional District Judge, on<\/p>\n
reappreciation of evidence, found that under Section 30(3) of<\/p>\n
Carriage by Air Act, 1972, (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Act’)<\/p>\n
carriers will be jointly and severally liable to the passenger or to<\/p>\n
SA 369\/1994                     3<\/span><\/p>\n
the consignor or consignee and as the liability is joint, suit is<\/p>\n
not bad for non-impleadment of Swiss Air as case of appellant<\/p>\n
was that damage was caused while consignment was transmitted<\/p>\n
from Bombay to Cochin. But on the evidence, it was found that<\/p>\n
there is no evidence to prove that damage was caused when the<\/p>\n
consignment was taken from Bombay to Cochin and evidence of<\/p>\n
DW1 establish that no damage was caused by respondents.<\/p>\n
Therefore the dismissal of the suit was confirmed.         It is<\/p>\n
challenged in the second appeal.\n<\/p>\n
      3. The second appeal was admitted formulating the<\/p>\n
following substantial questions of law.\n<\/p>\n
1)Whether on the facts and circumstances of the case, Swiss Air<\/p>\n
is a necessary party.\n<\/p>\n
2)Whether on the facts and circumstances of the case,<\/p>\n
defendants discharged their burden as a carrier.<\/p>\n
3)Whether on the facts and circumstances of the case, defendant<\/p>\n
as bailee has to explain how goods have been dealt with.<\/p>\n
      4.   Learned counsel appearing for appellant was heard.<\/p>\n
The argument of the learned counsel is that courts below should<\/p>\n
have found that the machinery which was entrusted for<\/p>\n
consignment was got damaged when it was carried by<\/p>\n
SA 369\/1994                        4<\/span><\/p>\n
respondents and on the evidence it should have been found that<\/p>\n
respondents did not discharge their burden. It is therefore<\/p>\n
argued that appellant is entitled to the decree sought for.<\/p>\n
      5. Admittedly machineries were sent from Frankfurt to<\/p>\n
Cochin on a consolidated cargo. The first leg of the transport<\/p>\n
was from Frankfurt to Bombay. That consignment was sent by<\/p>\n
Swiss Air. It is thereafter the consignment was rebooked from<\/p>\n
Bombay to Cochin. Damages was claimed from the respondents<\/p>\n
on the allegation that the consignment delivered to the appellant<\/p>\n
at Cochin was found damaged and the said damage was caused<\/p>\n
by the negligence of respondents. The argument of the learned<\/p>\n
counsel is that respondents did not succeed in establishing that<\/p>\n
damage was not caused by their negligence and as damage was<\/p>\n
not caused when the consignment was from Frankfurt to<\/p>\n
Bombay, only respondents are liable. Learned Sub Judge found<\/p>\n
that without impleading the Swiss Air, suit for damages as<\/p>\n
against defendants is not maintainable.         Learned Additional<\/p>\n
District Judge relied on Section 30(3) of the Act and found that<\/p>\n
the liability of the carriers is joint and several and if damages is<\/p>\n
caused by one of the carrier, suit as against the carrier        is<\/p>\n
maintainable without impleading the other carrier and           the<\/p>\n
SA 369\/1994                      5<\/span><\/p>\n
allegation is that damage was caused by respondents and so suit<\/p>\n
is maintainable even though Swiss Air was not impleaded.<\/p>\n
     Section 30(3) of the Act reads:-\n<\/p>\n
             “As regards luggage or goods,<\/p>\n
             the passenger or consignor will<\/p>\n
             have a right of action against the<\/p>\n
             first carrier, and the passenger<\/p>\n
             or consignee who is entitled to<\/p>\n
             delivery will have a right of<\/p>\n
             action against the last carrier,<\/p>\n
             and further, each may take action<\/p>\n
             against     the    carrier    who<\/p>\n
             performed the carriage during<\/p>\n
             which    the   destruction,   loss,<\/p>\n
             damage, or delay took place.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\n             These carriers will be jointly and<\/p>\n
             severally liable to the passenger<\/p>\n
             or    to    the   consignor     or<\/p>\n
             consignee”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
     6. Even if the view taken by learned Additional District<\/p>\n
Judge is correct, suit against respondents alone would lie,<\/p>\n
SA 369\/1994                     6<\/span><\/p>\n
without impleading the Swiss Air which was the first carrier<\/p>\n
through which the consolidated cargo was sent from Frankfurt to<\/p>\n
Bombay, only on establishing that no damage was caused to the<\/p>\n
consignment while it was being transmitted from Frankfurt to<\/p>\n
Bombay and proving that damage was caused only while it was<\/p>\n
transmitted from Bombay to Cochin.        There is absolutely no<\/p>\n
evidence to prove that damage was caused while the<\/p>\n
consignment was transmitted from Bombay to Cochin. Evidence<\/p>\n
of DW1 establish that consignment as received at Bombay at the<\/p>\n
time of re-booking the cargo and it was delivered to appellant at<\/p>\n
Cochin in the same condition. Appellant did not adduce any<\/p>\n
satisfactory evidence to prove that no damage was caused to the<\/p>\n
consignment before it was transmitted from Bombay to Cochin. If<\/p>\n
that be the case, on the evidence first appellate court rightly<\/p>\n
found that appellant did not establish that the damage was<\/p>\n
caused while the consignment was transmitted from Bombay to<\/p>\n
Cochin. Therefore, I find no merit in the appeal. It is dismissed.<\/p>\n
