The Central Government has proposed empowering post offices employees to open or detain any item during transmission in the interest of national security or public safety.
Another provision says the Post Office and its officers shall be exempt from any liability by reason of any loss, misdelivery, delay or damage in course of any service provided by it. “No officer of the Post Office shall incur any liability with regard to a service provided by the Post Office, unless the officer has acted fraudulently or wilfully caused loss, delay or misdelivery of service,” it said.
The bill has a provision related with recovery of sums due in respect of services provided by the Post Office. “Every person who avails a service provided by the Post Office shall be liable to pay the charges in respect of such service. If any person refuses or neglects to pay the charges, such amount shall be recoverable as if it were an arrear of land revenue due from him,” it said.
