    Summary: The Bombay High Court allowed the appeal and awarded ₹80,000 compensation to a passenger who fell from a running train while attempting to de-board at Jalgaon station. The court held that accidental injuries while sitting near a train door or attempting to exit a moving train at a non-halting station do not constitute "self-inflicted injury" under Section 124A of the Railways Act, 1989, rejecting the Railway Claims Tribunal's denial of compensation and relying on Supreme Court precedent in *Jameela v. Union of India*. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
