SC to pronounce on Bhopal case leak

image Every one is aware that Bhopal gas leak was the worlds worst industrial disaster but the victims have not got adequate justice till now. The victims were paid a sum of Rs.25000 which is very small sum compared to their sufferings, Today supreme court will pronounce it’s verdict on dilution of charges from 304 of IPC to 304A of IPC, CBI have filed a petition for more severe punishment as prescribed in 304 rather then 304 A, that is 10 year jail compared to 2 years of 304A for death due to negligence. everybody is hoping  that today’s judgement could bring some sense of relief for the Bhopal gas leak tragedy victims  and also if charges are reframed, this judgement will become a precedent for such new cases. That is industrial disasters will not be considered death caused by negligent but culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
