A quarter century after the world's worst industrial disaster that killed over 15,000 people, a local court on Monday convicted former Union Carbide India Chairman Keshub Mahindra and seven others in the Bhopal Gas tragedy case and awarded them a maximum of two years imprisonment.
However, 89-year-old Warren Anderson, the then Chairman of Union Carbide Corporation of USA, who lives in the United States, appeared to have gone scot free for the present as he is still an absconder and did not not subject himself to trial.
There was no no word about him in the judgement delivered by Chief Judicial Magistrate Mohan P Tiwari 23 years after trial commenced.
All the convicts applied for bail immediately after the sentencing and were granted relief in the case, the judgement of which comes against the backdrop of a debate on the Civil Nuclear Liability bill which would provide for compensation to victims in case of a nuclear disaster.
