New Delhi, May 11 (PTI) The Government today said it will "abide" by the decision of the Supreme Court which dismissed CBI's curative petition against an earlier apex court judgement that diluted charges against the accused in the Bhopal gas disaster case.
"We will go by the decision of the Supreme Court.
After this matter came up, the GoM in its due wisdom decided to go for the curative petition. After obtaining the opinion from the learned Attorney General of India, we had filed the curative petition and the Supreme Court in its wisdom has dismissed it. We will abide by the decision," Law Minister Veerappa Moily told reporters.
Asked about the compensation component as well as punishment to the accused, the Minister said he has to go through the judgement and pointed out that there are other petitions also which are yet to be disposed.
