In a significant turn of events, the Supreme Court has directed 11 convicts in the Bilkis Bano case to surrender before jail authorities within two weeks. This decision comes as the apex court quashed the Gujarat government's remission order for the convicts involved in the heinous gangrape of Bilkis Bano and the murder of seven of her family members during the 2002 riots in the state.
The bench of Justices B V Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuyan found the PIL challenging the remission maintainable, asserting that the Gujarat government was not the appropriate authority to pass such an order.
This development marks a crucial juncture in the long-standing legal battle, providing a glimmer of hope for justice in a case that has garnered widespread attention and concern. Stay tuned for further updates as the story unfolds.
