New Delhi, November 14

Holding Kuwait Airways liable for delay in delivery of a consignment, the Supreme Court has asked it to pay Rs 20 lakh along with 9% interest per annum as compensation to a Rajasthan-based exporter with effect from July 31, 1996 till its realisation.

“Once the agent has issued a time schedule for delivery of consignment, it cannot be said that there is no material indicating that there was no agreement for delivery of the consignment in time”, a Bench of Justice AS Bopanna and Justice PS Narasimha said, refusing to interfere with a 2012 order of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission against Kuwait Airways.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
