A person travelling on suburban trains during peak hours may face serious danger while standing near the door, yet the Bombay High Court said this cannot be treated as negligence. The court upheld compensation and rejected the Railways’ contributory negligence claim.
The Bombay High Court quashed an FIR filed by a judicial officer against her husband and in-laws, citing lack of evidence to support claims of obstruction of judicial duties. The timing of the FIR, lodged a month after the alleged incident, suggested it was a reaction to matrimonial discord. The judgment set a precedent against misusing legal avenues for personal vendettas, reinforcing the judiciary’s role in impartial justice.
