We are a manufacturing company from Maharashtra specializing in fire extinguishers; we received an order from a client based in Tamil Nadu, with a consignee address in Pondicherry, Karnataka, and despite dispatching the order as per the client's provided address and receiving payment, our transport vehicle was fined ₹10,000 by the RTO for incorrect material ownership, even though both the buyer's and consignee's addresses were mentioned on the invoice.
In this case who should be liable Buyer or Seller ?
