Calcutta High Court Awards Compensation in Train Accident and Road Accident Cases
The Calcutta High Court recently awarded Rs 8 lakh compensation to a mother whose daughter died after falling from a moving overcrowded train in 2014, overturning a previous tribunal rejection.

Both rulings emphasize fair compensation for victims and their families under Indian law.
