The judgment diluted the charge against the accused, including former chief of Union Carbide India’s operations Keshub Mahindra, from culpable homicide not amounting to murder to causing death by negligence.

The 1996 judgment was delivered by a bench headed by then chief justice A.M. Ahmadi.

The CBI filed the petition July 31.
