Fatal fall from train is an untoward incident, not self-inflicted injury: Bombay HC directs Railways to pay Rs 4 lakh compensation

Railways could have supported its case by examining the co-passenger or guard or by leading expert evidence to show that a person falling from a moving train could not get entangled in its wheels.”
