https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=249587 A challenge to the railway boarding restriction for fully wait-listed e-ticket holders failed because no rule or regulation granted wait-listed physical ticket holders a right to board, and Section 155 of the Railways Act, 1989 barred entry into a compartment without a reserved berth or seat without distinguishing between ticket formats. The Court nevertheless noted a practical difference: physical wait-listed tickets remained in existence until counter cancellation, while e-tickets were automatically cancelled when the final chart was prepared, which could disadvantage e-ticket holders. No illegality or discrimination was found in the circular, but the Railways were directed to consider measures against misuse of physical wait-listed tickets and to examine whether e-ticket holders should be allowed to retain wait-list status after chart preparation. en-us Tue, 15 Jul 2014 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 17:39:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=249587 A challenge to the railway boarding restriction for fully wait-listed e-ticket holders failed because no rule or regulation granted wait-listed physical ticket holders a right to board, and Section 155 of the Railways Act, 1989 barred entry into a compartment without a reserved berth or seat without distinguishing between ticket formats.
