Who is responsible for the Fiasco of Bhopal verdict?

Without doubt it is the Government.

In addition are all the individuals who were well aware what damage an accident with this lethal gas can cause and did not put their foot down to put corrective norms in place. 

As citizen's do we seem to really care? history does not support us on Yes.

I completely agree with the views posted by Ms.Kavita Shankar.

Respected Mukherji, while I know what I have opined, I would like tell you that I had the privilege of following and working in support of farmers in a noted the issue of environmental pollution in India. I know the issue, what happens practically, what government does, what can courts do, the background, the basis, the law and many other issues. I had the privilege of observing this society so deeply and I know my responsibilities and my professional credentials need not be a discussion point here while we discuss about an issue of public importance and we should never be specific. I would like to request you to understand the deeper issues and have a complete understanding while being specifically confronting with an expression of other. I don't want to say more than that and I know my responsibilities and I do have my own credentials which are considered substantial in my own circle. I am not passing time by posting my expression here, and I believe that something constructive can come from discussions and will have an impact too at times. thank you.

I am  glad media is sensationalizing it… there is a faint hope that people might get justice

It becomes more significant when parliament is discussing nuclear liability bill… US pressure must hv been definitely there… their  funda is clear… none of it citizen shud b attacked r harmed or else . the problem is we never knew what we wanted neither do we care for our citizens. .my salutations to all those activist who r still keeping fighting this case and keep it alive till it reaches its logical conclusion..

The more relevant question is "Who is responsible for Bhopal gas leak tragedy" and what the government and companies should do to avoid such mishaps.

I think that the educated and enlightened people are responsible for this plight. Ultimately, people elect representatives and they form government. Government is nothing but a majority voice of the people. We have  a problem with the system and we need change. Who will bring change? Only educated, enlightened and privileged can bring change. We are talking only about Bhopal Case, but, there are bigger Bophal like tragedies in India which are uncovered. We need political reforms and we need to have very effective, clean and intelligent leaders to rule us. I personally believe that the UPA Government is responsible for many reforms in the recent past and it is an on-going process. The problem in India is that  the people can very easily be misguided. Bhopal Tragedy is a systematic failure and it is not right to cause problems to the present government by trying to turn the clock back. Still, the UPA has rightly said that it will review the need of enhancing rehabilitation measures and thats an excellent and needed action right now. It would be sensationalism if we discus the issue of extraditing Mr.Anderson and that will not happen practically. We will not gain anything if Mr.Anderson is punished logically and rather we can press for better rehabilitation measures. Why are we talking about punishing Anderson now except to hinder the INDO-US relations. Many culprits are escaping from the system in this country and it would be better if we focus on these issues rather resorting to 'sensationalism'. It is my personal opinion.

Judiciary can only dispense justice, strictly based on the prevailing laws of the land.

While it is the Responsibility of Legislature to bring in new laws as per the changing times as well as amending the existing laws to suit the changing times, it is essentially the responsibility the Governments to introduce such new laws or amendments to the old ones.

Most of the punishment periods and amounts of fines are in currency Today are those valid during British Days.

Despite Technological Developments that also enhanced the Social & Legal Responsibility of Corporates, no suitable amendments are being brought out. And also in spite of Rupee getting heavily devalued the old fines of Rs. 100/- 1,000/- that were heavy burden during several decades ago which are now pittance even to a lower middle class people are not suitably amended to reflect the current day Rupee value.

Yes, it is successive Governments that have been responsible for this callous state of affairs, for which we cannot blame Judiciary, which role is not to bring in new Laws bur to dispense  justice based on the existing laws.

Dear Kavitha,

I totally agree with you. Our government is only responsible for the verdict of the Bhopal Tragedy. Its all the corrupt politicians, to save themselves they did not let the victims of Bhopal have justice. As if the convicts were convicted with some serious verdicts then they would have exposed the politicians who were bribed...

Pity on our politicians, they are worried for their own reputations...
