Delhi HC Rejects Compensation for Man Who Lost Hands After Alleged Train Fall
•Delhi High Court dismissed a compensation plea from a railway passenger who lost both hands after allegedly falling from a train in 2015.
•Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri cited discrepancies in the incident's location and timing, casting doubt on 'bona fide travel' and the claim's validity.
•The court upheld the Railway Claims Tribunal's 2018 decision, which had rejected the injury compensation claim.
•The appellant claimed he fell between Sonipat and New Delhi Railway Stations due to rush, but hospital records indicated Old Delhi Railway Station's platform 10.
•A 7-hour gap between the alleged incident time and police information receipt raised questions about the man remaining unattended with severe injuries.
