Issue for consideration
The deceased was pushed out of the running train resulting in his death.

The High Court concurred with the findings of Tribunal Act, 1987 – s.16 – Railways Act, 1989 – s.124 – The victim-deceased is stated to have purchased a second-class ticket at Indore Railway Junction – It is alleged that due to overcrowding, he was pushed out of the running train, resulting in fatal head injuries
