Later on 2006 Gujarat high court termed the appointment of the high-level Justice UC Banerjee panel that probed the Godhra train carnage as "unconstitutional, illegal and void". The formation of the commission was challenged by a victim Neelkanth Bhatia, who contended that there was already a commission probing the fire. Upholding the argument of the petitioner, the order passed by Justice DN Patel, stated: "The Railways has no authority to appoint such a committee as it was in gross violation of provisions of sections of the Indian Railways Act."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-banerjee-s-findings-contrary-to-facts-gujarat-hc-1058373 |title=Banerjee’s findings contrary to facts: Gujarat HC |date=13 Oct 2006 |access-date = 7 July 2020}}</ref>
