Hello,
I am from Mumbai. I would like to know railway laws.
An incident happened with me a few weeks ago. I was walking on Churchgate station platform no. 1-2 with the cup of coffee in my hand. I was walking carefully to ensure that I did not bang into anybody. But unfortunately I banged with a man. Some coffee got spilt on his shirt and some my clothes & shoes. There was a slight argument between us. Unfortunately that man happened to be a Ticket Collector. When I was arguing with him I was not aware
that he was the TC. He started yelling and shouting on me & said that he is on duty.
I got scared, I tried to politely explain to him that I was not completely my fault and that he was also not looking ahead while walking. But he would have none of it. He started threating me that he would charge me with "loitering". I asked him how can he charge me with "loitering" since I was having a valid pass with me. At one point he also caught me by my hand and was trying to take me to the Tc office. I again asked him how can he charge me with
"loitering". He said that walking on the platform with the cup of coffee amounts to loitering. Of course all this while
he continued to yell and shout at me, while all the time I was politely talking to him. I realised that there is no point in talking any further and just went in the waiting train on plaform no. 1
But he was not on duty at that time. He followed me and entered in the same compartment which I had gotten into.
In the train he was continuously threatening me. He was telling me that he will teach me a lesson. He will teach me a lesson for arguing with him. He was bullying me. He even said that he has taken my photograph. In the train he was not checking anybody's ticket (inspite of being in the first class compartment). Hence I feel he was not on duty at that time.
But he was continuously staring at me with
threatening looks. All the while in that train I did not bother to argue or even talk to him. But he did not stop staring
at me. He kept on bullying me. This went on till Vile Parle. I got down at Vile Parle. But nothing happened at Vile Parle. He did not take me to the TC office nor did he catch me. Infact I do not know whether he got down at Vile Parle or not because I did not bother to look back after I got down.
But I would like to know a few things:
1) As per railway rules and regulations, is one allowed to take coffee on the platform or not? I tried to search on the
internet but could not find any such rule.
2) As per railway laws, please explain "loitering". When and how can any railway authority charge anybody with
"loitering"?
3) Under such circumstances what should one do?
Though I also did argue with him, but that was in response to his yelling and shouting, which I felt greatly offended by. He was bullying me & I was helpless. From Churchgate to Vile Parle I was being bullied by this TC.
4) Also as a citizen am I within my rights to argue with a TC when i feel that it is not completely my fault?
Please let me know what legal recourse can one take in such situations.
Thank You,
Regards,
RM.

Please let me know the validity of video recording of spy pen at pvt shop. I have filed a suit against a person for defamation. I have done recording because i heard that the person is using abusing words for me and we have some other proofs on paper like FIR copies and statements in police station and also some witnesses. He accepted in writing in police station that he used defamatory sentences and video recording is just a supplementary evidence. So please let me know the validity of the same in such a case and if not, whether it is punishable?

Epcg licence validity
How is the validity of the EPCG authorisation calculated - Is it based on the date of shipment of the capital goods( Bill of Lading date) or the date of Bill of Enrty (Date of receipt).
In other words (To be specific...)
The EPCG athorisation issue date is March 2010, valid till March 2013. I want to know whether the machinery should be imported (Bill of Entry filed) before 31.03.2013 or is it enough that the machinery be shipped before 31.03.2013 (Bill of lading date before 31.03.2013
