The High Court of Bombay allowed the appeal and held that the deceased's death while traveling on a valid railway ticket constituted an "untoward incident" under Section 123 of the Railways Act, 1989. The court found the deceased was a bonafide passenger and, in the absence of any eyewitness testimony from the Railways to prove he was crossing tracks, applied the benefit of doubt in favor of the claimants based on circumstantial evidence. The mother of the deceased is awarded compensation of Rs. 4 lakhs, payable within eight weeks. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
