FAO No. 1407 of 2011 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH FAO No. 1407 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: 4.3.2011 Union of India .. Appellant v. Smt. Seema Devi .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Rajiv Sharma, Advocate for the appellant. ... Rajesh Bindal J. Challenge in the present appeal is to the order dated 9.7.2010, passed by Railway Claims Tribunal, Chandigarh Bench, Chandigarh (for short, `the Tribunal') awarding compensation to the widow of the deceased on account of his death in a railway accident. A perusal of the impugned order shows that husband of the respondent had died on account of a railway accident while crossing the railway lines to go to platform No. 2 from platform No. 1 to catch the train for which an announcement was made suddenly that the same will come to platform No. 2, which was earlier scheduled at platform No. 1. It was noticed by the Tribunal that there is no proper facility of over-bridge provided at the railway station for crossing the railway line from one platform to another platform. Considering the aforesaid facts, it cannot be said that the deceased was in any manner at fault. The compensation assessed by the Tribunal is in terms of the provisions of the Railways Act and the schedule provided therein. With the aforesaid facts on record, I do not find any illegality has been committed by the Tribunal in awarding compensation. FAO No. 1407 of 2011 [2] Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. Consequently, the applications seeking condonation of delay in filing and re-filing the appeal are also dismissed. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 4.3.2011 mk
