Holding
The petition is partly allowed, following the precedent that identical claims for release of Railway Claims Tribunal awards must be granted.

The court held that the present petition is identical in nature to that precedent. Accordingly, the petition was partly allowed in line with the earlier judgment. The order was pronounced by Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal on October 1, 2026.
