Justice For Bilkis Bano: Bilkis Bano Case Convicts To Surrender In 2 Weeks, Orders Supreme Court

In a blow to the Gujarat government, the Supreme Court on Monday cancelled an order passed by the state to release 11 men convicted in the Bilkis Bano case and killing seven of her family members during the 2002 post-Godhra incident in Gujarat. The court ruled that the Gujarat government was "not competent enough" to pass such an order and termed the move a "fraud act". A bench of Justices BV Nagarthana and Ujjal Bhuyan pronounced the verdict and said a petition filed by Bilkis Bano challenging the early release of 11 convicts was valid. The bench said the Gujarat government was not empowered to pass the order on the early release of the convicts since the appropriate government entitled to pass such orders was Maharashtra, where the trial took place, and not Gujarat. #bilkisbano #supremecourt #sc #bilkisbanocase #gujaratriots #indiatoday #asaduddinowaisi Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
