A Delhi court on Wednesday deferred the hearing till Thursday on the quantum of punishment in the Uphaar cinema tragedy case as the arguments remained inconclusive.
During the 30-minute-long meeting, the delegation also urged the chief minister to make stringent law for punishment in man-made disasters.
The court is going to decide the fate of the 12 accused, including theatre owners Sushil and Gopal Ansal, who have been charged with causing death by negligence.
The party said that given the anguish expressed by the families who had waged a long legal battle, a lot needs to be done to restore the faith of families of the deceased in the country's justice delivery system.
Kanth has challenged the 2010 trial court order summoning him for allowing extra seats in Uphaar cinema hall where 59 people died in a blaze in 1997.
