When the unpaid seller has parted with the goods to a carrier and the buyer has become insolvent, he can exercise this right of asking the carrier to return the goods back, or not to deliver the goods to the buyer. In the instant case, Anoj, the buyer becomes insolvent, and 450 bags are in transit. Ritvik, the seller, can stop the goods in transit by giving a notice of it to Anoj. The official receiver, on Anoj's insolvency cannot claim the bags.
