Postal department to pay Rs 50,000 for losing law grad's certificates
Hyderabad: The district consumer disputes redressal commission, Ranga Reddy, has ordered the postal department to pay Rs 50,000 to a Hyderabad resident for mental agony after his original degree certificates, sent by Osmania University through Speed Post, were wrongly delivered and never recovered. The complaint was filed by Ch Ravinder, 25, of Shabad, who had completed his five-year law course from Osmania University. In July 2021, the university dispatched his original degree and other certificates to his registered address. However, instead of delivering them to him, the local postman at Shabad post office allegedly handed them to a neighbour, claiming Ravinder's house was locked. Repeated requests and legal notices to trace the parcel failed. With no certificates in hand, Ravinder approached the consumer commission.

They argued that departmental rules capped compensation for lost Speed Post articles at double the postal charges or Rs 1,000, whichever was less, and sought dismissal of the complaint. The commission rejected this defence, calling it a clear deficiency in service and citing earlier rulings that even the recipient of a Speed Post parcel is a consumer under the Consumer Protection Act if booking charges were paid on their behalf. "In this case, the complainant paid fees to Osmania University for issuance of his certificates, and the Speed Post booking was done in his name. He is therefore entitled to relief," the order said. The commission directed the chief post master general, the director (postal services), the superintendent of post offices, and the Shabad post master to jointly and severally pay Rs 50,000 as compensation and Rs 10,000 additionally towards litigation costs.
