The HC was hearing a PIL filed regarding non-availability of medical facilities to victims of accidents in railway stations. When asked by the HC, what kind of medical facilities are available at stations, railways counsel Suresh Kumar said that first aid boxes are kept at the station master's room.

"The first aid boxes will only have band-aids. We are not talking about medical aid for a person who has fallen down a staircase. We are talking about a person who might have cut his limbs after coming under a train," chief justice Kumar said.
