IBN7 News: A US federal judge has decided that neither Union Carbide Corporation nor its previous chairman Warren Anderson had been responsible for any ecological removal or pollution-related charges imposed by the sufferers of the 1984 Bhopal gas disaster.
In 1 of the world’s most unfortunate tragedies at the Bhopal plant, previously held and managed by Union Carbide India Limited, an organization once possessed by UCC, leaked out deadly gases put to sleep an approximated 22,000 men and women in the December 1984 Bhopal disaster.
In his judgment Wednesday, US district Court Judge John F. Keenan decided that - even when seeing the proof in a lot of favourable light for the plaintiffs - UCC is not straightly responsible, nor responsible as an representative of Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL), nor at fault within a veil piercing evaluation.
The court decided that “It is out of argument that Union Carbide India Limited” - and not UCC - “generated and disposed of the gas that presumably contaminated plaintiffs’ consuming water”.
