Twenty-five years after the judgment the Bhopal Gas Tragedy case where he was the counsel for Union Carbide, Fali Nariman apologised for his role in his autobiography. In an interview to The Hindu on the 27th of June 2010, he said if he could go back in time he would not have taken up the case. He said he would not have taken up the case [b]ecause I thought this was one more case which would add a feather to my cap. I mean one is always ambitious at that age. But I found later – but then it’s too late, one can’t walk out of the case one has already taken up – that it was not a case, it was a tragedy. And in a tragedy, who is right, who is wrong etc., all becomes marred in great deal of justifiable emotion.
