The Bombay High Court in Mumbai has ordered the Central Railway (CR) to pay ₹4 lakh (approximately $4,800 USD) in compensation to the family of a young doctor who tragically died in a train accident in 2007. The court's decision overturned a previous ruling by the Railway Claims Tribunal, which had denied compensation on the grounds that the incident did not qualify as an 'untoward incident' under the Railways Act, 1989. The deceased doctor had traveled to Mumbai to take his DGO examination and purchased a ticket for the journey from Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) to Bhusawal. He met with a fatal accident late at night, with the tribunal initially concluding he was run over by an unknown train. However, the High Court found this conclusion unsupported by evidence, noting the absence of eyewitness accounts and the lack of identification of the train involved. The court determined that the doctor likely fell from a second-class compartment of an express train, as his ticket was recovered from the scene. The court also dismissed objections regarding discrepancies in the deceased's age and proof of relationship, affirming the family's claim for compensation.
