Remission Requests

The Supreme Court slammed the Delhi government over the delay in deciding the remission plea filed by 114 convicts, including Gafoor - a JeM terrorist convicted for conspiring to wage war against the country and was awarded life imprisonment.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday assured Bilkis Bano, who was gang-raped and seven members of her family killed during the 2002 Gujarat riots, that her plea against the remission of the sentence of 11 convicts will be heard soon.

The Supreme Court has rejected 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.
