Bhopal: The final arguments in the 1984
Bhopal Gas Tragedy case began today when a court here snubbed
the CBI for seeking repeated adjournments in its hearing.
CBI counsel C Sahay sought an adjournment after the court
assembled this morning to which Chief Judicial Magistrate
Mohan P Tiwari replied: "this only showed the lack of interest
on the part of the investigating agency to proceed with the
case. "I can`t adjourn the case anymore. Please don`t request
for adjournments."
In the last hearing, the CJM had asked the CBI to table
the written submissions today. However, the CBI said today it
needed time for the same and sought adjournment of the case`s
hearing which the CJM declined.
Sahay said Additional Solicitor General Mohan Parashar
will argue the case and he needed time as he was busy.
Parashar was available for the final argument for three days
from June 30, the court was told.
