HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD WRIT - C No. - 14978 of 2026 Puran Saw .....Petitioner(s) Versus Union of India .....Respondent(s) Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Mukti Nath Pandey, Pashupati Nath Pandey Counsel for Respondent(s) : A.S.G.I. Court No. - 7 HON'BLE PIYUSH AGRAWAL, J. 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondent. 2. The solitary grievance of the petitioner is that only 10 % amount of the award has been directed to be released in favour of the claimant/petitioner by the impugned award of the Railway Accident Claims Tribunal dated 14.6.2024, which is inequitable, unjust and grossly inadequate. It defeats the purpose of award of compensation for death caused to the son of the present petitioner in a railway accident. 3. A perusal of the record reveals that in a railway accident occurred on 22.11.2015, the deceased suffered fatal injuries and died. Arising therefrom, the petitioners instituted a claim petition in which the Tribunal has awarded Rs. 8,00,000/- to the petitioners. 4. The Tribunal has provided for release of Rs. 80,000/- to the petitioner and the balance is to be deposited in Fixed Deposit for a period of three years. 5.
