Supreme Court upholds compensation for man who fell off train despite lost ticket

The Supreme Court has overturned a Gujarat High Court order that had denied compensation to the parents of Maheshbhai, who died after falling from a train. The incident occurred on September 27, 2017, when Maheshbhai fell from the general compartment due to a sudden jerk while travelling to Surat via Ahmedabad. The High Court had earlier rejected the compensation claim, a decision that has now been reversed by the apex court. The ruling affirms that the loss of a travel ticket cannot be used as grounds to deny legitimate compensation to the victim's family.
