Hello
I am in central govt office that is central railway & recd a decree on my name thru Central railway.
Order is for payment of compensation of Rs. 35000 to be paid by central railway as liable vicariously for their negligence of employees within 30 days from Order date 3/2/2015.
I am innocent in this case but my administration had entangled me by giving wrong reply in RTI made by plaintiff.
Administration has decided to go in appeal but our law dept said there is no merit in case.
Now I want ur advice what to do .
Admin has not made any correspondence with me in this regard but had taken my sign on vakalatnama.
Pl help me out.

Since you are an aggrieved party, you can prefer an appeal.

Compensation was awarded for what damage caused? Whether the damage is caused by you? If so in your personal capacity or while discharging official duties? You should prefer an appeal to escape from the execution of order if you have any merit. Consult a local lawyer with all relevant papers.

Whether department has issued any letter to you? If the fault was during discharge of your official duties, department can not fix your liability without following disciplinary procedure.

The department is reported to have taken your signature in the vakalatnama, it means you have been made liable for the damages ordered, though you are going to fight it out. Please follow up with your legal department who will b knowing it better than to take advise outside with improper information which may mislead you.
