Question

Mr. G sold some goods to Mr. H for certain price by issue of an invoice, but payment in
respect of the same was not received on that day. The goods were packed and lying in
the godown of Mr. G. The goods were inspected by H's agent and were found to be in
order. Later on, the dues of the goods were settled in cash. Just after receiving cash,
Mr. G asked Mr. H that goods should be taken away from his godown to enable him to
store other goods purchased by him. After one day, since Mr. H did not take delivery of
the goods, Mr. G kept the goods out of the godown in an open space. Due to rain, some
goods were damaged. Referring to the provisions of the sale of Goods Act, 1930, analyse
the above situation and decide who will be held responsible for the above damage. Will
your answer be different, if the dues were not settled in cash and are still pending?
