law: Sale of Goods Act, 1930
  51. Duration of transit
  (1) Goods are deemed to be in course of transit from the time
  
  when they are delivered to a carrier or other bailee for the purpose of transmission
  
  to the buyer, until the buyer or his agent in that behalf takes delivery of
  
  them from such carrier or other bailee.
  (2) If the buyer or his agent in that behalf obtains delivery of
  
  the goods before their arrival at the appointed destination, the transit is at
  
  an end.
  (3) If, after the arrival of the goods at the appointed
  
  destination, the carrier or other bailee acknowledges to the buyer or his agent
  
  that he holds the goods on his behalf and continues in possession of them as
  
  bailee for the buyer or his agent, the transit is at an end and it is
  
  immaterial that a further destination for the goods may have been indicated by
  
  the buyer.
  (4) If the goods are rejected by the buyer and the carrier or
  
  other bailee continues in possession of them, the transit is not deemed to be
  
  at an end, even if the seller has refused to receive them back.
  (5) When goods are delivered to a ship chartered by the buyer,
  
  it is a question depending on the circumstances of the particular case, whether
  
  they are in the possession of the master as a carrier or as agent of the buyer.
  
  
  (6) Where the carrier or other bailee wrongfully refuses to
  
  deliver the goods to the buyer or his agent in that behalf, the transit is
  
  deemed to be at an end.
  (7) Where part delivery of the goods has been made to the buyer
  
  or his agent in that behalf, the remainder of the goods may be stopped in
  
  transit, unless such part delivery has been given in such circumstances as to
  
  show an agreement to give up possession of the whole of the goods.
