Commission’s jurisdiction in case of limiting operator’s liability.- If a licensee, for the purpose of limiting his own liability, imposes any condition in relation to a service provided by him and if the Commission considers such condition to be unreasonable, it may direct the licensee to cancel the condition and accordingly he shall be bound to comply with the direction. 42.
