The Delhi High Court recently dismissed a compensation plea from a railway passenger who had both of his hands amputated following an alleged fall from a train in 2015.
Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri pointed out significant discrepancies between the incident's recorded location and the passenger's account, undermining the claim of genuine travel.
Judging the foundational facts as unsubstantiated, the court could not recognize the incident as 'untoward', upholding the Railway Claims Tribunal's earlier rejection of the compensation claim.
