RAILWAYS LIABLE TO PAY COMPENSATION IF PASSENGER DIES WHILE BOARDING AND DEBOARDING TRAINS: SUPREME COURT

The Supreme Court ruled that the railways would be liable to pay compensation to passengers in case of death or injury while boarding and de-boarding trains and said it cannot deny such claims citing negligence on the part of passengers. A bench of Justices held that death or injury during boarding or de-boarding a train will be an 'untoward incident' entitling the victim to compensation.
