Its all relative of course. 1990 till now for 20 rupee overcharge is a marathon I might not do
" An Indian man has won a case related to an overpriced railway ticket after almost 22 years.
Tungnath Chaturvedi, a lawyer, was charged 20 rupees ($0.25; £0.21) extra for two tickets he had bought in 1999.
The incident occurred at Mathura cantonment railway station in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
A consumer court last week ruled in Mr Chaturvedi's favour and asked the railways to refund the amount with interest.
"I have attended more than 100 hearings in connection with this case," Mr Chaturvedi, 66, told the BBC. "But you can't put a price on the energy and time I've lost fighting this case."
Consumer courts in India specifically deal with grievances related with services. But they are known to be overburdened by cases and sometimes it can take years for even simple cases to be solved.
Mr Chaturvedi, who lives in Uttar Pradesh, was travelling from Mathura to Moradabad when a ticket-booking clerk overcharged him for the two tickets he had bought.
The tickets cost 35 rupees each, but when he gave 100 rupees, the clerk returned 10 rupees, charging 90 rupees for the tickets instead of 70.
He told the clerk he had overcharged him, but Mr Chaturvedi didn't get any refund at the time.
So, he decided to file a case against North East Railway (Gorakhpur) - a section of the Indian Railways - and the booking clerk in a consumer court in Mathura.
He said it took him years because of the slow pace at which judiciary works in India.

Ok a whale is not a fish. Had a few whales do this to me mostly in Shark Bay Wa. The OMG moments of life
Photographer captures '''oh wow''' moment as whale breaches close to boat off Coffs Harbour - ABC News
Many years ago I had a submarine do something like that to me when I was sailing up the coast just south of Sydney! (not as spectacular as that)
I've wondered ever since whether they knew we were there, as being under sail there would have been little noise they could pick up.

Exercise Chong Ju is an annual Army exercise named aftera battle in North Korea in 1950when the 3rd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, supported by tanks and artillery, attacked and captured a large North Korean defensive line during their northward advance to the Yalu River.
Next year now apparently. Bravo Zulu 3rd Battalion.
Forty-five years ago today we lost the King. Most people would remember exactly where they were when they heard the sad news.
