Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions.

The Shriram Gas leak case pitted the Supreme Court against one of India's largest corporation. CJ Bhagwati presided over the Supreme Court bench and was deeply concerned for safety of citizens. He was anxious to improve plant - safety, a task which the statutory agencies seemed incapable of performing. The Honorable Chief Justice saw in the Oleum case a way of influencing the far more important Bhopal gas leak case. The Shriram case has also raised some important questions concerning the true scope and ambit of Articles 21 and 32 of the Constitution. The case also dealt with Principles and Norms of determining the liability of large enterprises engaged in manufacturing and sale of hazardous products. It also decided the basis on which damage should be quantified and whether the corporation should be allowed to function from thickly populated areas and if they are allowed what measures should be taken for minimising hazards to workmen. This led the Parliament to enact law & articulate new standard of absolute liability in 1991.
