unable to claim compensation due to spelling error in her ID cards because of an error made by government officials who issued her the voter ID card
Indu’s 18-year-old son, Vilas, died in 2008 after falling off a moving train in Andheri. She then filed an appeal for compensation with the railway tribunal. Around the same time, she applied for voter ID and Aadhaar cards, which she thought she might need as part of the legal process.
