After a 23-year legal struggle, a widow finally received Rs 8.92 lakh compensation for her husband's 2002 train accident death, thanks to Supreme Court intervention and dedicated pro bono legal representation. Despite being initially denied by lower courts who wrongly claimed the deceased was of "unsound mind," the Supreme Court overturned these "absurd" rulings and coordinated with Railways and local police to trace the relocated widow, ensuring justice was finally served.
