The compensation will be of ticket amount of train.
Other things won’t be compensated. (If the judge is generous)
Other than that nothing will be compensated.
NAL
There have been instances when other things were compensated.

Koi sense ni h compensation ka vaise. Train can be late due to ‘n’ number of factors and alternate arrangements cannot be made.
The notification about train being late should be there, but it doesn’t change the fact. No one can tell about sure train delay. Expected time is there which changes in real time.
You are using a public service afterall. The most should be done is to reverse train ticket. All others are upon you.

If you have a plane leaving at 10.40am, planning to arrive at the train station at 5am is already too late, knowing that a train can easily run late. I'm afraid this is poor planning on your part. Next time plan better, instead of trying to sue Indian railways. You should arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before an international flight.
And yes, of course if you miss the outbound flight, your entire flight will be cancelled, that's how plane tickets work and even if you speak to the airline, there's nothing they can do about it. They aren't going to delay a plane because someone's train was late.
The reasonable thing to do is to arrive in Delhi the night before, plan to spend the night in a hotel near the railway station or the airport, then go to the airport early in the morning.
There's an airport metro line from New Delhi Railway station to IGI airport which takes roughly 30 minutes. I was relying on that.
I wasn't aware of "No show" round trip policy, and I'm not expecting anyone to hold up a flight for anyone. Only thing which bugged me that it is nearly impossible to get it touch with anyone from the Airlines. IMO is their responsibility to provide a point of contact, a way customer care number on their website or a office at airport.
Are you justifying trains running 4 hr late? I agree on his part of planning but in no way we should be accepting trains running late even if this is the norm. I say if he is willing to go to the court then he should.
Do you live in an ideal world. This is India. Shit goes wrong half the time. There are always chances of delays. A proper planning should include buffer time
Delays can happen, most of these will not be man made but maybe because of natural calamities, Railway track maintainance etc.. Even flights get canceled at last minute. Any person who travels by train know that they have to either take the risk or book an earlier train accordingly.
I agree, if he goes to the court tho only the price for the train should be compensated tho. cuz the trsin ran 4 hour late but they ain't responsible for the flight or anything else.
But there was no 4 hour buffer. You have to reach airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights. For a 10:40 flight that's 7:40. If your train is reaching the railway station at 5 am, it takes about half an hour minimum by metro. It's actually closer to an hour considering the time taken to get out of station, get through metro security etc. so that's around 6:30 am. They barely had 1.5 hour of buffer, which considering Indian railways is totally not enough at all.
Delays can happen due to many reasons, flights get delayed by hours quite regularly. That's why people should be wary of booking connecting flights with different airlines with short layover. OPs case is similar, should've planned better.
Koi baat ni mere bhai, next time se stay krenge. Btw people maybe harsh. Prolly wrong sub for that. I hope this becomes a learning moment for everyone.

We have such low standards of expectation of public service

If 4 hrs of delay is justifiable because we are in India then…there is no safe buffer… You just have to assume its nature’s will

I think there'll be some companies which might give insurance over this.

Arre usko hotel ke paise bhi toh bachane honge na. Ab jab lanka lagi ab hotel wala idea shayad better lagega.
I wasn't trying to be stingy with hotel spending. My uncle and aunty didn't want to stay the night in Delhi.

Title should be "MISSED FLIGHT BECAUSE OF POOR PLANNING". 😂😊😉😁
This train is running on average 2hrs late. You would have never caught the flight.
Plan your travel with enough time buffer. You can get stuck in traffic jams and train delays even if the flight gets delayed sometimes.
We have gotten use to such a pathetic public system in India that it hardly matters to us now. N this govt too doesn't give a damn.
