The general managers of both Western and Central Railways have to remain present in the Bombay High Court for the hearing of the PIL (Public Interest Litigation) filed by Samir Zaveri who had lost his legs in a rail accident 20 years ago. Zaveri in his PIL states how a passenger had taken him to a hospital as there was no help from the railways. Following the PIL, a committee was constituted in 2004 and it had given certain recommendations for upgrading the railway facilities.

Fed up with the non-implementation of court orders and insensitivity shown by the railways, the Bombay High Court on February 12 asked the general managers of both Western and Central railways to be present in court for the next hearing on a case, to be held after four weeks.
