Case Summary: Shyama Devi v. Union of India (C.A. No. 900/2005) The Supreme Court allowed Shyama Devi's appeal, awarding her Rs. 84,448 in workmen's compensation with statutory interest under the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923. The court found that her husband, a Railway Switch Man, died in the course of employment when he was fatally injured by a lathi blow while attempting to pacify a mob attacking railway property after his duty hours. The Railway was directed to pay the awarded amount within eight weeks. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
