Former Chief Justice of India A.H. Ahmadi on Tuesday rejected criticism of dilution of charge against Union Carbide executives in Bhopal gas tragedy case, saying in criminal law there was no concept of vicarious liability.
He also lamented that there was absence of law to deal with disasters of Bhopal kind and said law can be amended to provide for adequate punishment.
Former Chief Justice A.H. Ahmadi, who headed the bench in 1996, said it was easy for people to talk and make allegations but judges have to work under the system. —PTI
