Supreme Court Dismisses Gujarat Govt's Review Petition Challenging Adverse Remarks Against It In Bilkis Bano Case Judgment

The Supreme Court dismissed the Gujarat government’s review petition challenging adverse remarks made in its judgment in the Bilkis Bano case. The court had previously criticized the state for its handling of the case, involving the release of convicts. The dismissal of the review petition reinforces the earlier ruling and the court’s disapproval of the state’s actions in this high-profile case of gang rape and mass murder during the 2002 Gujarat riots. This emphasizes judicial oversight on state decisions in sensitive cases.
