The petitioners Anand Legal Aid Forum Trust submitted that railway administration is hiding the actual number of deaths which had been reported as 18.

Further, the petitioners told the Court that as per eyewitnesses there were around 200 deaths during the stampede.

After hearing the petitioners’ counsel briefly, the Court dismissed the plea.

“Let the persons who are affected approach the court”, the Court remarked.
