CBI plea for Anderson extradition gets Courts nod

to book.

The government has been criticised for letting Anderson jump bail and escape trial in the tragedy,leading to death of over 15,000 people.

Considering the entire gamut of facts in their holistic perspective and the sentiments of disaster-hit people,I deem it expedient and in the interest of justice that there is no bar in law in seeking extradition of Warren Anderson from the corresponding US authorities, Yadav said.

The court added that there was no reason the US authorities would heed to the extradition plea. Let extradition request to the corresponding US authorities be sent through appropriate ministry for compliance.

The CBI told the court that it had been trying to get Anderson extradited since 1987,when the chargesheet was filed in the case in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate in Bhopal.
