A bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud and Justices PS Narasimha and Manoj Misra expressed its reservations about the court's involvement in deciding train stops.

"You want us to decide which train stops it should have. Now we will also take a call on stations from Delhi to Mumbai Rajdhani. Sorry dismissed," the Court said.

Earlier, in May a division bench consisting of Justices Bechu Kurian Thomas and C Jayachandran of the High Court had rejected the plea stating that halting points of a train are determined by the Indian Railways and no one has a vested right to demand halt for a train at a particular station.

Later, an appeal was submitted before the Supreme Court , in which the Court held that as per the first schedule of train stop initially announced by the Indian Railways for Vande Bharat, Tirur railway station was allotted a stop for the commuters in Malappuram district. 

Subsequently, the Indian Railways remove the halt at Tirur railway station and instead another railway station, Shornur in Palakkad district was allotted the stop, which is roughly 56 kilometer away from Tirur.

The plea filed through advocates Sriram Parakkat and MS Vishnu Shankar further stated that the petitioner does not have a vested interest and has only highlighted a larger public interest as the issue affects lakhs of citizens living in Malappuram district.
