The Union of India appealed against a judgment of the Railway Claims Tribunal, which awarded compensation of Rs.3,70,000 with 9% interest to Vivekkumar Virendra Asthana for injuries sustained when he fell from a running train. The appellant argued that the respondent was not a bona fide passenger and had fallen due to his own negligence. The court considered the submissions and referred to provisions of the Railway Act, 1989, and judgments of the Hon'ble Apex Court. The court ultimately decided in favor of the respondent.
