The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued notices to all the accused in Bhopal gas leak case on a petition by the CBI seeking to restore against them the stringent charge of culpable homicide, which attracts a maximum punishment of 10 years' jail term.
In in-chamber proceedings, a bench comprising chief justice S.H. Kapadia and Justices Altamas Kabir and R.V. Raveendran sought response from the accused on the curative petition filed by the probe agency seeking recall of the apex court's 14-year-old judgement that had diluted the offence.
The court listed the matter for hearing after the completion of the service.
