Supreme Court quashes the remission of 11 convicts in Bilkis Bano case

Supreme Court quashes the remission of 11 convicts in Bilkis Bano case

On 8 January 2024 a Division Bench comprising Justices B.V. Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuyan unanimously quashed the Gujarat Government’s remission orders granting early release to 11 convicts in the Bilkis Bano case. The Bench ordered the convicts to be returned to prison within two weeks. The decision comes three months after the Bench reserved judgement on 12 October 2023. Justice Nagarathna, reading out the judgement with hardly any pause, stated, “This court must be a beacon in upholding the rule of law failing which it would give rise to an impression that this court is not serious about the rule of law and therefore all courts in the country could apply it selectively.”
