But without permisison of railway, you cannot do so. 

Well you are not selling tickets in black,  so will acquit. 

You should first of all go through the charge sheet and determine what according to the railway is the offence. 143 doesn't mention tge offence but states the punishment. How have they described as to what have you done.

Engage a lawyer. Case details and charge sheet is necessary to form an opinion.

Your browser gave an edge to those who used it as they could autofill their details quickly which the irctc doesn't allow.

I think that is why they charged you.

You should plead ignorance.

You should contest the case filed against you 

burden of proof is upon prosecution to prove allegations that you have abetted unauthorised travel agents 

As the railway police have registered a case against you,  to defend your interest, you may have to collect technical details about the site you have created to prove that your act has nothing to do with agents booking fake tickets. 

You can explain the details at the time of trial proceedings and with the support of documentary evidences you can present a strong argument to falsify the allegations leveled against you. 

You can accept this crime and tell to court that in future you will not such site and proper site as per railway act and pay penalty charges.

punishment shall not be less than imprisonment for a term of one month or a fine of five thousand rupees.

You can pay five thousand penalty and close the case.

The content of the FIR needs to be seen to advise further. 

In such cases the proof of the allegations is very difficult to stand. 

Therefore I don't find much difficulty in getting yourself acquitted of the offence. 

A browser which can also provide access to the irctc website. Terms of agreement and privacy policy must mention such an act as illegal. Other than that you haven't committed any crime. I don't know how and on what grounds have they made you an accused.

Don't worry.  You can take this defence in your trial. 

No case under section 143(2) is made out 

you should be acquitted by court 

You can contest the trial if you want or also can apply for quashing in HC if the matter doesn't have merits. Also you can try filing discharge in lower court after filing of chargesheet

1. Google chrome has not set up this exclusively for railway reservation. 

2. You cannot justify your acts in comparison. 

3. You can add this also at the time of final arguments. 

4. You may have to defend yourself on the basis of charges leveled against you and not beyond that. 

Prima facie there seems to be a discrimination violating article 14 of the constitution 

If Google chrome can have the auto fill facility then what is the rationale behind any other browser being prohibited from having that same facility? 

If the state (irctc) is ok with Google chrome with auto fill then what is its reason for not allowing auto fill on some other browser 

I suggest you approach the High Court by filing a criminal writ petition for quashing these proceedings against you on the grounds of being arbitrary, unreasonable and discriminatory 

I would like to give more inputs after studying the relevant section of the railway act under which case is registered against you 

See before using any application or browser s/he are aware of what type of browser using by the user, so once you have used it that from your PC or laptop and its id has been captured by the  IRCTC. If you tell them that its not your fault than they are going to cross question you when yu had opened the Browser you don't have read what browser you are using . No doubt .. you are innocent  your intension was not to harm any one and by mistake you has used this browser. 

So you tell than what defend you have from your side when its already caught by IRCTC and your IP address has been noted so just accept and in future you will not use such type of browser for IRCTC. I am telling you to accept the punishments' to stay behind bars only pay penalty amount.

If you start arguing and defending against government organization like Railway, then they should not take further decision to impound your passport. So close the case ...... rest of things depends upon you.

143(2) of the Railways Act that the applicant was engaged in illegal sale and purchase of railway e-tickets.  Unless and untill you defend yourself, it would be difficult for you to prove your innocence. 

You should defend yourself on ground that you were not using the proxy server intentionally and it happened automatically due to system settings.

- Section 143(2) of the Railways Act states that the applicant was engaged in illegal sale and purchase of railway e-tickets, and this is a bailable offence.

- Hence, only copy of the extensions not come under this offence. 

- After getting notice from the railway tribunal Court , you can put your defence for acquittal in the said case. 

Dear Sir/Madam,

You are suggested to highlight all the points and file the Writ Petition/Quash petition in the High Court challenging all the actions of RPF.
