Patna High Court Directs ₹4 Lakh Compensation For Kins Of Deceased Who Died After Falling From Running Train

The Patna High Court has ordered the Railways to compensate the family of a deceased individual with Rs. 4,00,000 after he fell from a moving train. The court based its decision on the Supreme Court's ruling in Union of India v. Rina Devi (2019), which mandates compensation under Section 124A of the Railways Act, 1989, for injuries or deaths during boarding or deboarding, irrespective of negligence. The deceased was identified through affidavits by his family, which the Railways did not contest, leading to the court's compensation directive.
