once upon a time in bhopal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

नई दिल्ली. सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने मंगलवार को भोपाल गैस त्रासदी मामला फिर से खोल दिया। जस्टिस एसएच कपाड़िया की अध्यक्षता वाली बेंच ने इस मामले में सात आरोपियों को नोटिस जारी किया है। इन आरोपियों में यूनियन कार्बाइड की भोपाल इकाई के तत्कालीन सीईओ केशब महिंद्रा शामिल हैं। अब अदालत अपने 14 वर्ष पुराने फैसले पर पुनर्विचार करेगी। इस फैसले के कारण आरोपियों को निचली अदालत ने महज दो-दो वर्ष कैद की सजा सुनाई थी।

शीर्ष कोर्ट ने यह कदम सीबीआई द्वारा क्यूरेटिव याचिका पेश करने के बाद उठाया है। जांच एजेंसी ने निचली अदालत के फैसले के बाद फैले देशव्यापी जनाक्रोश के मद्देनजर याचिका लगाई थी। केंद्र द्वारा गठित मंत्री समूह ने भी आरोपियों को अधिकतम सजा दिलाने की सिफारिश की थी।

It is sad that CBI had not acted on it's own. CBI ought to have filled curative petition many many years ago but CBI is indeed "His Master's Voice".

The Government had realized that public opinion is against them & therefore reluctantly asked CBI to file curative petition.

It is also true that Arjunsingh is now not important for congress & he can be made scapegoat to save the name of Rajiv Gandhi

Supreme Court Judges must not forget that it was their then Chief Justice who had delivered unjust judgment. The present judges must show courage & must ask some pointed question regarding his subsequent conduct of taking over the chairmanship of a hospital set up for Bhopal Gas Victims.

The Supreme Court Judge must ask some uncomfortable question to the judge who went to guest house of Union Carbide to grant bail. Have you ever heard that a judge will go to an accused's place to bail him out!

I feel ashamed. It seems there is no value of human life in India.
