Mumbai HC: Standing at crowded train doors isn't negligence

• Bombay High Court ruled Mumbai train passengers are not negligent for standing near crowded doors.
• The court upheld compensation for a family whose member died after falling from a train in 2005.
• HC stated passengers have no choice but to risk their lives on packed local trains during peak hours due to severe crowding.
• The ruling rejected the Railways' argument of passenger negligence and validated the deceased's pass, noting that current train conditions remain unchanged.

Why It Matters: HC ruling recognizes commuters' forced risks on crowded trains, ensuring compensation.
