Doli Rani Saha vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the dismissal of a compensation claim under Section 124A of the Railways Act, 1989, where the Tribunal and High Court concluded that the deceased was not a bona fide passenger. The Court reiterated that a valid ticket is not a prerequisite for compensation claims, referencing Union of India v Rina Devi. However, it upheld the lower courts' findings due to lack of evidence proving the deceased's presence on the train, thereby affirming the dismissal of the appeal.
