Justice B N Kirpal, India’s former chief justice, said Thursday the decision on Kanishka bombing that killed 329 people in 1985 was unjust.

329 people on board of Air-India’s Flight 182, Montreal to London, died after the explosion of the aircraft above the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Ireland, on June 23, 1985.

Two men accused of the crash were acquitted on Thursday. Ripudaman Singh Malik, 57, and Ajaib Singh Bagri, 55, caused the aircraft crash. "I do feel disappointed because our inquiries were comprehensive. I am not in a position to comment because I have not seen the judgment. But it seems that the judge has let off Ripudaman Singh Malik and Ajaib Singh Bagri because the prosecution was not able to prove their involvement beyond reasonable doubt," said Justice Kirpal.

Ripudaman Singh Malik and Ajaib Singh Bagri were tried in a Vancouver court in Canada.
