High Court Quashes RPF Case Against Techie Over Ticket Booking App
The Karnataka High Court has quashed a case filed by the Railway Protection Force (RPF) against a Bengaluru-based techie who developed a ticket booking app in 2017 to assist railway users. The RPF accused the techie of violating the Railways Act by offering the app’s services to book tickets, allegedly bypassing the official IRCTC platform and charging a fee. The court found the allegations ambiguous and without proper evidence, ruling that using a third-party app for ticket booking does not inherently constitute an illegal act.
