While the Supreme Court has ordered sending back all convicts in the Bilkis Bano case to prison, it never said anything about the act of remission itself

Highs And Laws

THE SUPREME COURT judgment on the Bilkis Bano case is welcome. It is a great judgment from the apex court, sending all the convicts back to prison. It sends a good message to the people of India, particularly the women of the country. Their dignity and honour has to be respected by the courts and it has been done.

The Bilkis Bano case has been a historic one. It has gone on for so long and so many people have supported her. So, that is iconic. And the incident in itself was so horrid and it stands out in history—for three days the police were on the rampage. They were killing people and raping women. So, for that, justice has to be there and it has been delivered with this judgment. Also, it is not only about Bilkis Bano—they have killed so many people.
