Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has filed a petition in the Karnataka High Court on June 4, challenging the Union Administrative Tribunal (CAT) comments about the tragic Stamped in Bangalore. The tribunal had said that the franchise was Prima Feshi for 11 deaths.
Royal Challengers Bangalore won their first IPL title on 3 May, ending 17 years of waiting. The franchise organized a win parade the next day to celebrate the historic victory. However, the short notice gave the city’s administration very little time to implement adequate mob-control and safety measures.

CAT approved any wrongdoing to the Bengaluru Police, given that it was unrealistic to expect law enforcement to manage such a large -scale incident with only 12 -hour notice. The tribunal referred to the functions of the franchise as a “nuisance”, leading to a fatal phenomenon.
“Suddenly, RCB created the above type of disturbance without any prior permission. It cannot be expected from the police that the Police will make all the arrangements required in the Police Act or other rules within about 12 hours,” a part of CAT’s statement, as quoted by India today.

“Tribunal blamed RCB Prima Facial. Tribunal kept RCB contrary to natural justice, as RCB was not heard,” The Petition, Advocate Raghuram filed through Raghuram Cadambi, as reported by the bar and bench.
On June 4, about 300,000 people M. Chinnaswamy gathered outside the stadium, who was to watch RCB players after winning the IPL title. However, confusion and insufficient security system triggered a stampede.
