It is submitted that I Kalim Jamshed travelled from Liberia to Karachi through connected flight via Ethiopians/ Emirates Airlines on Route Liberia-Addis Baba- Dubai- Karachi on 15/16 Feb 2010. At my departure I was carrying bag weighing about 12-13 kg which I was told by the airport authorities to deposit it in luggage I remove my laptop from the baggage and deposited the bag properly locked in luggage weighing around 8.5-9 kg. At each transit point before getting my boarding card I use to ask the airline authorities about my bag on which I was told it will automatically shifted in plane luggage and after getting there confirmation I use to go on board. On reaching the destination I found my luggage bag missing from luggage. At the same time I had to fly from Karachi to Peshawar since I was stuck up for my luggage my flight also got missed. I had to register the complaint regarding my missing baggage. Since I was travelling in emergency (Death of my father) after missing the flight due to procedures involved in missing baggage report and then searching my luggage I had to pay extra fine to the air for (Rs 1200+1400=2600) and travel to Rawalpindi instead of Peshawar as flight was missed for Peshawar.
on 18 feb 2010 I received a call from Karachi about my luggage that it has been found and will be despatched to Peshawar (65 km away from my home town Kohat).
