Case Law Analysis
|Allahabad High Court
Railways Act Section 123(c)(ii) | Compensation Must Reflect Revised Rates in Force at Time of Award, Not Incident: Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court ruled that compensation for railway-related deaths must be calculated using the revised rates effective at the time of the tribunal's award, not at the time of the incident. This ensures claimants benefit from legislative enhancements in statutory compensation, reinforcing the principle that remedial statutes must be interpreted to maximize relief to victims.
