Abstract

Railway transportation has emerged as the major mode with the ongoing modernization of vehicular mechanics. In India, the railway tracks run not only in the outskirts but also in between the suburbs in many places. And with the rising population of the country, most of the trains are over packed with the passengers travelling to their destination. The railway is still the most
preferred mode of transportation as compared to flight and road in India. These factors play the role in increasing the chances of accidents in India. It is not quite unusual for us to hear about some sort of railway accident or derailment of a train on a normal day. On average there are 15 deaths every day due to
railway accidents since India is the fourth largest country concerning railways transport system. With a huge proportion of the population living without the availability of basic needs of a home, as is commonly seen in form of shanties beside the railway track itself. The railway providing compensation in cases of
accident related to it has become a source of easy money, luring many towards he fraudulent use of the rule. The same was seen in the below discussed case report.
