In Brief
This judgment concerns a tragic incident in Uttar Pradesh and addresses interim compensation distribution pending final liability determination. The Supreme Court directed that ₹30 lakh deposited by event organizers be distributed pro rata among victims and families of deceased persons according to payments already made by the Central and State governments. The pro rata distribution means proportional sharing within each category (deceased or injured). The Court authorized this interim relief to prevent continued victim suffering while a retired Judge's Commission investigates the full facts. The disbursement remains subject to final adjudication of the writ petition and was supervised by the District Judge, Meerut.
