The Bombay High Court has permitted the father of a girl in a vegetative state after a road accident to withdraw Rs 1.15 crore deposited in court by the Western Railways that owned the errant vehicle, pending hearing of the appeal filed in the case.

A division bench of Justices Gautam Patel and Gauri Godse in an interim order passed on October 6 observed that it cannot view such matters with the "clinical coldness" of a civil suit.
