Holding
The claim amount awarded by the Railway Claims Tribunal must be released, following the precedent set in Ram Naresh Singh & 5 Ors. v. Union of India.
Summary
The petitioners Kanchan Pradeep Vishwakarma and another sought the release of the full claim amount awarded by the Railway Claims Tribunal. The High Court noted that a similar issue had been finally decided on 10 September 2026 in Writ‑C No.27617 of 2026 (Ram Naresh Singh & 5 Ors. v. Union of India), where the claim amount was ordered to be released. The present writ petition was found to be identical in nature to that earlier case. Accordingly, the Court applied the precedent and allowed the petition partially, 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 can be released after the Tribunal's award has attained finality.
