Holding
The claim amount awarded by the Railway Claims Tribunal must be released to the petitioners, as affirmed by the earlier judgment in the identical case.
Summary
The petitioners, Ram Tirath and another, filed a writ petition seeking the release of the entire claim amount awarded to them by the Railway Claims Tribunal. The respondents, Union of India and another, opposed the relief. The Court observed that the same issue had already been finally decided in Writ‑C No.27617 of 2026 in the case of Ram Naresh Singh and 5 Ors. vs. Union of India. Relying on that precedent, the Court held that the present petition is identical in nature to the earlier case. Consequently, the Court allowed the petition partly, directing that the claim amount be released in accordance with the earlier judgment. The order was pronounced by Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal on 1 October 2026.
Issues considered
- Whether the entire claim amount awarded by the Railway Claims Tribunal should be released to the petitioners
