    Summary of FAO 193/2022 The Delhi High Court allowed the appeal and set aside the Railway Claims Tribunal's dismissal, finding that the deceased was a bona fide passenger who died in an untoward railway incident. The court held that recovery and independent verification of a valid railway ticket from the deceased's possession created a presumption of genuine travel, shifting the burden to Railways to prove statutory exceptions—which they failed to do. The matter was remanded to the Tribunal to assess and award appropriate compensation within two months. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
