UNION OF INDIA AND OTHERS. vs C. L. HORA AND OTHERS. — C.A. No. 368/2005

The Supreme Court disposed of Union of India's appeal against compensation awarded to the dependents of Ms. Sarika Hora, who died in 1995 after falling from a train vestibule. The court upheld the Rs. 18 lakhs compensation with 9% annual interest awarded by the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practice Commission, noting that 19 years had elapsed and the compensation amount was not seriously contested. The appeal was disposed of while keeping the jurisdictional question open, and dependents were permitted to withdraw the compensation in accordance with law.
