Each was fined $1000. Warren Anderson was found guilty under sections 304-A (causing death by negligence), 304-2 (culpable homicide which does not amount to murder) and 336, 337 and 338 (gross negligence) of the Indian Penal Code. Yet just four days after the tragedy, Anderson flew out of Bhopal on his close friend's official plane. In June 2004, the United States rejected Warren Anderson's extradition request from India's Supreme Court, arguing that the request did not meet the requirements of certain provisions of the extradition treaty. None of the perpetrators were penalized for their irresponsible actions. Including Anderson, none of the faculty members were arrested due to bad Indian governance. This failure of justice adversely affects not only the victims in particular but also the society and the nation as a whole,” said the petition drafted by advocate Devadatt.
