4.Having considered the rival submissions made at the Bar, in our view, it would be apposite to deal with the second contention regarding the quantification of damages. As already stated, once the goods were returned to the premises of the insured, the second respondent, final survey was conducted and Ext.A4 final survey report was issued on 7.11.1996. It was PW2 who conducted the final survey. In the final survey report, the total loss has been estimated at `3,75,356.40. Reading of this report shows that damages have been found under two heads. The first is with respect to the damages caused to vacuum interruptors. It is seen that there were totally 15 numbers of vacuum interruptors, among which, two were found missing. Out of the remaining 13, one was found to be beyond rectification and reclamation, 7 were found to be without any defect and the remaining 5, on evaluation by M/s.Bharat Electrical Limited, which is the manufacturer and after high voltage test conducted at the premises of the second respondent itself, were found to be in working condition and defect free. This, therefore, means that loss was caused only in respect of 3 vacuum interruptors.
