Asserting that no private individual can lay a claim against it for damages, the Union Carbide Corporation (UCC) has moved the Supreme Court against letting the victims? organisations intervene in the curative petition that was filed by the central government to seek additional compensation for the victims of the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy.
The UCC has sought clarification of an order passed by the court in April 2011 whereby five victims? groups were allowed to intervene in the matter.
