Bhalerao & Ors. ...Respondents Mr.A.N.Samant for the appellant None for the respondents CORAM : A.S.OKA,J. DATE : JUNE 27, 2011 ORAL JUDGMENT: 1 Heard the learned counsel for the appellant. The challenge in this appeal is to the order made on claim petition under section 124-A of the Railways Act,1989 (hereinafter referred to as the said Act). 2 The Tribunal found that the deceased was the bonafide passenger and he had died as a result of untoward incident within the meaning of clause (c) of section 123 of the said Act. Therefore, the Tribunal proceeded to grant compensation of Rs.4,00,000/- together with interest at the rate of 6% per annum from the date of passing the order. 3 After having heard the learned counsel for the appellant and after perusing the record, I find that the appellant had not taken any specific defence in the written statement and the case of the appellant was only of denials. This is a case where the report of loss of hand bag of the deceased containing the season ticket was lodged with the police. 2 fa1909 4 The finding of the Tribunal on the basis of the evidence on record is that the deceased fell down from the train on the platform no.4 of Bandra Railway station. In absence of any specific defence, it is not possible to find fault with the findings recorded by the Tribunal. Interest is granted from the date of the impugned order and not from the date of filing of the claim petition. Hence, no case for interference is made out. 5 Appeal is accordingly, dismissed with no order as to costs. JUDGE
