Nearly 17 years after the tragic death of Arogyaraj Chetiyar, a 16-year-old boy who fell from a crowded local train at Jogeshwari station in Mumbai, the Bombay High Court awarded ₹8 lakh (approximately $9,600 USD) in compensation to his parents, Rayappa and Victorya Chetiyar. The court determined that Arogyaraj's death resulted from an 'accidental fall from a moving train' rather than while crossing the railway tracks, as argued by the Western Railway. Justice Jitendra Jain directed the parents to file a fresh claim with the Railway Claims Tribunal and mandated Western Railway to deposit ₹4 lakh with 6% annual interest from the date of the accident. The court criticized the tribunal for not considering crucial evidence, including witness testimony from Arogyaraj's friend, and rejected the railway's claims about the circumstances of his death. The ruling highlights the importance of thorough examination of evidence in such cases and aims to provide justice for the bereaved family.
