Vineet Tripathi, New Delhi. Expressing displeasure over the non-filing of reply by the Railway authorities in the case of the stampede that took place at New Delhi Railway Station on February 15, 2025, the Delhi High Court questioned the officials and expressed its displeasure.
The bench asked whether this matter of public interest is not a lesson for the officers? Do you want something more serious to happen? The court asked why the affidavit was not filed even after almost a year? Are the authorities waiting for some other incident?
The bench said that despite the statement of the Solicitor General appearing on behalf of the Railways, the affidavit has not been filed. The court had directed the Railways to file a reply by March 26, 2025, giving information about the decisions taken by the Railway Board. However, the court found that no affidavit has been filed till date.
