• Bhopal Gas tragedy: Survivors, NGO condemns decision

  Survivors of Bhopal Gas tragedy and various non-government organizations which are fighting for justice for the last several years have condemned the decision of US Federal court that dismissed the appeal filed by some of the victims including Janki Sahu. Sahu argues that the District Court took an unduly narrow view of who may be held liable for creating a nuisance and that she had adduced sufficient facts for a reasonable juror to find that UCC had participated in the creation of the nuisance.
