Bhopal Gas Peedith Mahila Udyog ... vs Union Of India (Uoi) And Ors.

The Supreme Court addressed the applications by BGPMUS and BGPSSS regarding the inadequacy of compensation for victims of the Bhopal Gas Tragedy, which occurred on December 2, 1984. The Court noted that the Bhopal Gas Leak Disaster (Processing of Claims) Act, 1985 empowered the Union of India to manage claims and compensation, but the applicants argued that many victims were inadequately compensated and not properly identified. The Court held that the concerns raised warranted further examination of the compensation process and directed the Union of India to provide detailed accounts and rectify the identification methodology for gas victims.
