Karnataka HC Seeks Stampede Report in Sealed Cover
Imagine there was a big party after a cricket team won, but sadly, a bunch of people got hurt.
The government looked into what happened and made a report.
Now, the High Court wants to see that report to make sure everything was done fairly.
A company involved in the party doesn't like what the report says about them and wants it to be changed.
They feel they didn't get a fair chance to share their side of the story before the report was made.
The court will decide if the company is right or not.
