The Supreme Court has dismissed a plea filed by Bilkis Bano, seeking a review of its earlier order by which it had asked the Gujarat government to consider the petitions for remission of sentences of 11 convicts in the gang-rape case.
Bano was gang-raped and seven members of her family were killed during the 2002 Gujarat riots.
According to procedures, review pleas against apex court judgments are decided in chambers by circulation by the judges who were part of the judgment under review.
Meanwhile reacting to the SC move, When people do not get justice from the Supreme Court, where do they go, Delhi Commission for Women chief Swati Maliwal asked after the apex court dismissed a review plea filed by Bilkis Bano.
“Supreme Court rejected Bilkis Bano’s plea. Bilkis Bano was gang-raped when she was 21 years old, and her three-year-old son and six family members were murdered but Gujarat government freed all the rapists. If justice won’t come from Supreme Court, where will people go?” Maliwal asked on Twitter.
सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने बिलक़िस बानो की अर्ज़ी ख़ारिज कर दी। बिलक़िस बानो का 21 साल की उम्र में गैंग रेप किया गया, उसके 3 साल के बेटे & 6 परिवार वालों का क़त्ल कर दिया गया, पर गुजरात सरकार ने उसके सभी रेपिस्ट को आज़ाद कर दिया। अगर सुप्रीम कोर्ट से भी न्याय नहीं मिलेगा, तो कहाँ जाएँगे?
