A review of the Decision on Sushil Ansal and Ors. v. State through CBI and Ors.
The incident of Ansal Plaza actually a reported incident of massive corporate crime which took away the life of 59 innocent people. The incident shows how the greed of the owner of a cinema hall takes the risk of life of the people who came to watch movie for making more profit. This case also reflects the gap in the judicial system which causes inordinate delay in completion of the litigation. The corporate offenders used to take the advantage of the gap of the Indian law in the area of corporate crime. The case took 16 years to bring the offenders to justice which make the punishment meaningless or ineffective for the victim as well as the offenders. The decision is a landmark on the basis that Justice Gyan Sudha Misra impose a exemplifying fine on the offenders and the proceeds made available for making a trauma centre at Delhi.
