flag Supreme Court rejects nationwide stampede prevention rules, citing executive authority.

flag The Supreme Court declined on January 22, 2026, to issue nationwide guidelines for preventing stampedes at large public events, stating such matters fall under executive authority. flag The court directed the petitioner to pursue the issue through the Union Ministry of Home Affairs and the Election Commission, citing the need for administrative action over judicial intervention. flag While acknowledging tragedies like the Andhra Pradesh temple stampede and Karur incident, the bench emphasized that crowd management involves complex, site-specific decisions best handled by law enforcement and security agencies. flag The petition, seeking a legally binding national safety code, was dismissed without prejudice, allowing the petitioner to continue seeking remedies through official channels.
