A bench consisting of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, and Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, announced that the matter would be listed for hearing.

The SIT report pointed out deficiencies in the local administration that contributed to the stampede, which resulted in the loss of 121 lives on July 2.
