Twenty-six years after one of the worst industrial disasters, Bhopal Gas Tragedy, which claimed thousands of lives occurred, a local court trying the case would pronounce its verdict on June 7.
The Chief Justice Magistrate Mohan P Tiwari said on Thursday that he would pronounce the judgment on June 7 on the toxic leak from the Bhopal factory of Union Carbide India [ Images ] Limited (now defunct), after the arguments of prosecution -- the Central Bureau of Investigation -- and defence of eight accused drew to a close in the 23-year-old trial.
During the trial, 178 prosecution witnesses were examined and 3008 documents were exhibited.
