Railway Tribunal Denies Compensation to Train Track Trespassers

The Railway Claims Tribunal has rejected a compensation claim of 10 lakh rupees filed by an injured commuter. The applicant stated he fell into the gap between the train and platform during a 2023 journey in Kerala. The tribunal ruled that individuals trespassing on railway tracks are not legally entitled to compensation. This decision reinforces strict liability rules regarding unauthorized track access across the railway network.
