Victimisation & Harassment of 1081 Victims of 7/11 Mumbai Bomb Blast is not yet over. 711 appeals are filled by The Government of India at Mumbai High Court. Separate appeals are filled against 711 Victims who have received Financial Claims- Compensation. It’s Terrorism by Railways now condemns BJP Leader Dr Kirit Somaiya. These are the claims settled & ordered by The Railway Claim Tribunal.

Railway on behalf of Govt. of India have moved to Mumbai High Court stating that Interest decreed by The Special Bench of Railway Claim Tribunal is un-justified. 

It may be noted that after 24 moths also the Financial Compensation are not paid to all. The Government of Maharashtra took 23 month to disburse the compensation to 1014 victims. The Human Right Commission has issued to notices to Railway and Government of Maharashtra and called for explanation about delay in payment of Compensation. 

On the eve of 2nd anniversary of 7/11 Mumbai Bomb Blast Victims have started receiving notices from Mumbai High Court. The Notices states that. In case of failure to appear before the court. The proceedings will be carried out Ex- Party. 

Several Victims have contacted Dr. Kirit Somaiya. They are scared, yet there wound are not completed Medical Treatment and successive surgeries are going on. And now these Notices. 

Mr. Rajn Kamble of Bhayander who received just Rs. 28,000/- compensation couple of month back Received notice few weeks back to appear befor High Court. 

Smt. Kunda Vithoba Shinde of Kalina Compensation order of Rs. 10,000/- issued on 27th Feb 2008. 

Ramniwas Ladhha received compensation of Rs. 10,000/- in April 2008 also have received notice of appeal of Railway.

Dr. Kirit Somaiya EX-Member of Parliament states it is horrible and ridiculous that the Government is dragging the Victims to High Court for No fault of theirs Railway wants the interest back from the victims. 

It may be noted that there compensation is paid as part of the “General accident Insurance Cover” It is paid by the General Insurance Company. It is paid against the minimum paid by every commuter while purchasing Railway Tickets and Monthly Pass. It is not paid from the pocket of Railway. 

Railway is spending tens of Thousands Rupees towards Advocate fees, leagal chages for each appeal. To recover Rs.400/- Railway is incurring Rs.40,000/- per appeal. 

Dr. Somaiya demanded immediate withdrawal of all there appeal and  “Apology” from the Government.
