2000 (2) TMI 791 - SC - Indian LawsWhether the first respondent insurance company was subrogated to the rights of the second respondent consignor in respect of the lost consignment or whether it was the assignee of the rights of the second respondent in respect thereof? Whether it was a consumer within the meaning of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, entitled to maintain a complaint thereunder? Held that:- Appeal allowed. By reason of the transfer and assignment of all the rights of the second respondent in the first respondents favour, the second respondent retained no right to recover compensation for the loss of the consignment. The addition of the second respondent to the complaint as a co-complainant did not, therefore, make the complaint maintainable.
