In February 1989, after 24 days of hearings, the Supreme Court of India directed a final settlement of all Bhopal litigation in the amount of $470 million.
The GOI, UCC and UCIL accepted the Court's direction and, 10 days after the decision, UCC paid $425 million and UCIL paid $45 million to the GOI.
