The Supreme Court on Friday heard the plea challenging the Gujarat government’s decision to grant remission to 11 convicts in the Bilkis Banu gangrape case in which it issued a notice to Gujarat government and asked to file the entire record of the proceedings, including the remission order given to the convicts.
The SC has given Gujarat government two weeks of time to produce all relevant records in the case.
The apex court will hear the matter after three weeks.
The top court was hearing the petitions filed by TMC MP Mahua Moitra and another challenging the premature release of 11 convicts on remission by the Gujarat government.
The 11 convicts walked out of the Godhra sub-jail on the 75th Independence Day of India (August 15) after the Gujarat government allowed their release under its remission policy.
