The Delhi high Court noted that this public interest petition raised concerns about the ineffective implementation of provisions in the Railways Act, primarily Sections 57 and 147.

At least 15 people died and another 15 were injured in a stampede at the main railway station in India's capital New Delhi on Saturday night, the chief minister of the capital territory told reporters early on Sunday.

The Delhi High Court has directed the Railways to examine the issues of maximum passengers and platform ticket sales following a stampede at New Delhi Railway Station. The court emphasized implementing existing legal provisions to prevent such incidents and has asked for a detailed response from the Railway Board by March 26.
