The Delhi High Court on Wednesday asked the Railways to examine the fixing of maximum passengers and sale of platform tickets—issues raised in a PIL over the recent stampede at the New Delhi Railway Station, setting the next date of hearing on March 26. A bench of Chief Justice D K Upadhayaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela asked the authorities concerned to state in its affidavit, the details of its measures on the issues. 

“Let the issues raised in the petition be examined, as suggested by the solicitor general, at the highest level at the Railway Board and thereafter an affidavit be filed by the respondent giving details of the decisions which might be taken by the Railway Board,” the court ordered.
