A five-judge bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Chief Justice H S Kapadia began the hearing of curative petitions in the Bhopal gas tragedy on April 13. While hearing the curative petition filed by the CBI to re-examine the 1996 Supreme Court's judgement, the five-judge bench questioned the CBI for approaching the court after a gap of 16 years and not filing a review petition during these years.
