The Bombay High Court in Mumbai has ruled in favor of the family of Vilas Jondhale, who died after falling from a train in August 2018. The court ordered the Central Railway to pay ₹8 lakh (approximately $9,600 USD) in compensation, stating there was sufficient evidence to confirm Jondhale was a bonafide passenger at the time of the incident. The railway authorities had previously denied responsibility, arguing that Jondhale's death was due to negligence and that his ticket was not genuine. However, the court found no evidence to support these claims, noting that Jondhale had purchased a valid ticket for his journey from Hingoli in Marathwada to Kalyan. The incident occurred at Khadavali Station around 6 am, where Jondhale allegedly fell after being pushed by a crowd. The court's decision included a 9% interest rate on the compensation amount from the date of the incident, emphasizing the lack of evidence from the railway to absolve them of liability.
