What sort of doublespeak is this? ‘I do not know about any review petition, including ND Prakash’s petition in the Bhopal case. I do not recollect the filing of the said review petition’ Review petitions are usually similar and thus dismissed. You can’t hold people vicariously liable. It’s not that a judge is always right. It’s because it’s the final word that we’re right.” ‘You can’t hold people vicariously liable.’
What a cheek!Union carbide is ‘vicariously liable? This is not travesty of justice, but willful murder of Justice.He should be impeached. By the way what post was he holding when Bhopal tragedy took place and when it came for hearing and where? It is the bounden duty of a judge to refer to records;it is not as though the review petition was filed orally.A judge, it is presumed would go through records.Thank god! he he has not said that he did not recall Law!
‘It’s not that a judge is always right. It’s because it’s the final word that we’re right.”
What non sense!Why play with words?Even by English grammar the statement means that , the sentence means he is right. Fact is he is wrong legally and morally.
Story:
A day after NC Prakash spoke to TIMES NOW about his review petition being dismissed by former Supreme Court Chief Justice A H Ahmadi in the Bhopal gas tragedy, Justice Ahmadi has spoken exclusively to TIMES NOW , stating that he doesn’t recollect any review petition being filed in the case.
Former SC Chief Justice Ahmadi said, “I do not know about any review petition, including ND Prakash’s petition in the Bhopal case. I do not recollect the filing of the said review petition. Review petitions are usually similar and thus dismissed. You can’t hold people vicariously liable. It’s not that a judge is always right. It’s because it’s the final word that we’re right.”
This statement from Ahmadi comes just a day after ND Prakash insisted that Justice Ahmadi is lying. He added that the court records can prove that Justice Ahmadi rejected a review petition even without viewing merits of the case.
Petitioner Prakash said, “On behalf of Bhopal Gas Peedith Sangharsh Sahyog Samiti, we had filed a review petition on November 29, 1996. Justice Ahmadi rejected the petition in March 1997. This is a fact on record, this can be easily verified by court records. In fact, he rejected it even without going through the merits in the case.”
On Monday, after over 25 years, eight people were convicted for the world’s worst industrial disaster and sentenced to two years in prison. About 20,000 people were killed in the Bhopal Gas tragedy of December 2-3, 1984. All those convicted, however, got bail the same day itself.
Those convicted in the case include Mahindra & Mahindra chief and former Union Carbide of India Chairman Keshub Mahindra. However, there was no word on Warren Anderson, the then Chairman of Union Carbide Corporation of the US, who was declared an absconder after he did not subject himself to trial in the case that began 23 years ago. The former executive lives in suburban New York.
