Bombay HC cites F. Scott Fitzgerald quote to reject man's compensation plea

• Bombay High Court refused compensation to a man injured in a railway accident.
• Justice Jitendra Jain cited F. Scott Fitzgerald's quote: “First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you.”
• The court dismissed an appeal challenging a 2014 Railway Claims Tribunal order.
• Compensation was denied as the injury resulted from an act committed while intoxicated.
• The HC noted that the incident was not "untoward" and fell under Section 124A of the Railways Act, which bars compensation for intoxicated individuals.
