and London (1.43). The petitioner, Yatin Jadhav, argued that the deaths are primarily due to commuters falling from trains and accidents while crossing tracks.

(1.43) se kaafi zyada hai. Petitioner, Yatin Jadhav ne argument kiya ki maut ka main reason hai commuters ka trains se girna aur tracks cross karte waqt accident.

Court ne railway ke jawab ko galat bataya, aur kaha ki sirf guidelines follow karna kaafi nahi hai aur mauton ko 'untoward incidents' ke jaise nahi dekhna chahiye. Court ne suggestion diya ki ek committee banai jaye jo is issue ka study kare aur solution propose kare.
