Long-awaited justice has been delivered after an Indian man won a legal case he filed against Indian Railways in 1999 for overcharging him INR 20 ($0.25), the BBC has reported.
Tungnath Chaturved told reporters that the incident occurred at the Mathura Cantonment railway station in Uttar Pradesh state when the ticket seller charged him INR 90 ($1.13) instead of INR 70 ($0.88).
The lawyer filed a complaint against the North East Railways Service Division of Indian Railways at the Mathura Consumer Court after other authorities failed to consider his case.
Chaturvedi said that he had attended more than 100 hearings over the past 22 years. He told the press that his fight for justice took so long “because of the slow pace at which judiciary works in India.”
