Distribution Matrix of Hardware for Railway Claims Tribunal(WebEnabled Claims Phase-II).
The substantive liability of the Railway Administration for loss, destruction,
damage,deterioration or non-delivery of goods entrusted to them for carriage
and for death or injuries or loss to a passenger in a railway accident or
untoward incident is laid down in the Railway Act - 1989. The establishment
of Railway Claims Tribunal was necessary for speedy adjudication, providing
relief to rail users by way of expeditious payment of compensation to the
victims of rail accident or untoward incident, refund of fare and freight and
compensation to those whose goods are lost while with railways. It was thought
that the setting up of such a Claims Tribunal with Benches in different parts
of the country with Judicial and Technical Members, will provide much relief
to the rail users and reduce burden of the civil courts.
