Thane, Nov 14 (PTI) Rejecting the anticipatory bail applications of two Central Railway engineers named in an FIR related to the June 9 Mumbra train incident, a court here has held that the accident prima facie resulted from a "knowing default or omission." The applicants were responsible for the maintenance of the track, but apparently failed to perform their duty despite a "caution order", and the repairs were carried out after the accident, the judge said.

Additional sessions judge G T Pawar on Thursday denied pre-arrest bail to a section engineer and a senior section engineer who are facing a case for alleged `culpable homicide not amounting to murder' and `acts endangering life or personal safety'.
