The first witness to give evidence, Ganesh was a security guard based at South Quay Docklands at the time of the explosion in February 1996, which blew him off his feet and perforated his ear drums.
Two of his friends were killed and he suffers from significant post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Ganesh told the court that he is seeking “some sort of justice” for himself, as well as other IRA victims.
Under cross-examination he was asked: “You want to be able to say that Gerry Adams is the man responsible for the bomb that injured you?”
He replied: “That’s right.”
Ganesh continued: “I don’t suggest for one minute that Mr Adams planted the bomb.
“I do believe he played a major part in the IRA and I thought he had some involvement with the attack.
Adams’ barrister James Robottom asked Ganesh why he did not bring the case against Adams years earlier.
The witness replied that he thought the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 would have prevented him from bringing a claim against Mr Adams.
He said it was only when Adams announced his intention to sue the government over his unlawful internment without trial, that he explored the possibility of bringing a case.
Asked if he is seeking justice against “the first person you could find”, he replied: “That’s not true.”
