Hence the present appeal was filed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Respondents had opposed the claim contending that, the appellant had sustained injuries due to his own act and negligence and therefore claim was not admissible in absence of \u201cuntoward incident\u201d within the meaning of Section 123(c) of the Act of 1989.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tribunal had observed that the appellant was not the bonafide passenger as he was carrying and possessing the valid \u2018Pass\u2019 and journey extension tickets, for want of an identity card, the season ticket could not have been held valid and therefore applicant was a passenger travelling without a ticket.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Analysis and Decision<\/span><\/h4>\n<hr \/>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">High Court expressed that the appellant was travelling in the passenger train with a valid and proper season ticket with journey extension tickets and the said fact was not in dispute.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><u>Whether, for want of identity card, season ticket, carried and possessed by applicant-passenger, was invalid, and as such, was not \u201cBonafide Passenger\u201d?<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Court\u2019s opinion, for more than one reason, non-production of the Identity Card alongwith the season ticket by a passenger, who had sustained injury due to accidental fall, itself would not render valid season ticket, invalid.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u201cPassenger producing proper season ticket without, identity card, <em>ipso-facto<\/em>, would not render season ticket, improper and\/or invalid, unless, it is proved that passenger was using season ticket, that was issued in the name of another person.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Therefore, in the opinion of the Bench, the appellant was a \u201cbonafide passenger\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><u>Whether appellant had sustained injuries in \u201cuntoward incident\u201d within the meaning of Section 123C (2) of the Railways Act, 1989?<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">High Court held that the finding recorded by the Tribunal that the appellant had not sustained injuries in \u201cuntoward incident\u201d, but suffered \u201cself-inflicted injuries\u201d, was erroneous and therefore the same was quashed and set aside.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">High Court held that the compensation sought was in respect of the injuries sustained by the appellant in an \u201cuntoward incident\u201d and the Railway Claim Tribunal shall proceed to grant compensation to the appellants in terms of Rule 3 of the Rules, 1990, after verifying the medical evidence produced by the appellant in support of his claim.
