    Summary of FAO 192/2024 The Delhi High Court dismissed the appeal against a Railway Claims Tribunal decision denying compensation for a death resulting from a train accident. The deceased, Indresh Jaiswal, fell while attempting to board a moving train at Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station on 27.10.2021. The court upheld the Tribunal's finding that the case fell under proviso (d) to Section 124A of the Railways Act, 1989 (acts committed in a state of intoxication), based on unrebutted forensic evidence showing blood alcohol concentration of 109.6 mg/100ml—substantially exceeding permissible limits. The court rejected the appellants' reliance on beneficial legislation interpretation, holding that statutory exceptions cannot be defeated by liberal construction. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
