This query is : Resolved
I had booked an implantable medical device from Jamshedpur to Patna through First Flight Couriers.The value of the consignment was declared by the agency on the receipt is 10000/-.However the cost of pacemaker as consignment was 26000/.There was no signature of the consignor on the receipt.The consignment got lost on the way and could not be recovered.I claimed from the courier company rs 50000/ as compensation of loss because had i got the consignment on time i could have sold it at rs 50000/ and earned some profit.Is it viable to bring the case to consumer forum as the courier company is willing to pay only 10000/ and not 50000/-.Since the value declared by courier company is arbitrarily and they did not ask for any acknowledgement can I move to Consumer Forum.

I think you are a re seller you cannot file a consumer forum case you can claim damages filing damage suit

Since you are not the consumer, you can not approach Consumer Court.
