The Delhi High Court, on Tuesday, listed the plea seeking the establishment of a high-level committee to investigate the deaths of IAS aspirants in a recent tragedy in the basement of Rau’s IAS coaching center in Rajendra Nagar.
The bench of Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela listed the matter for Wednesday, July 31 at 12:30 PM.
The public interest litigation sought the establishment of a high-level committee to investigate the deaths and to also investigate the institutes that are operating operations illegally without adhering to standard norms.
