H C to continue hearing on Meerut fire tragedy

Allahabad, Sep 13 (UNI) Hearing on the bail application filed by the organisers of the Meerut fire tragedy would continue tomorrow before the Allahabad High Court.

The matter is being heard before Justice Ravindra Singh. The defence counsel has pleaded that it is not a case of culpable homicide, not amounting to murder but a simple case of negligence under section 304 of Indian Penal Code (IPC).

A major fire had swept the exhibition at Victoria Park in Meerut on April 10, killing several persons.
