Man falls to death from crowded train, Railways ordered to pay his family Rs 8 lakh
NEW DELHI: The Calcutta high court has directed the Railways to pay Rs 8 lakh compensation to the family of a man who died after falling from a running train, holding that he was a bona fide passenger and that his death was an "untoward incident" under the Railways Act. The court set aside the Railway Claims Tribunal's order rejecting the family's claim.
