In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court of India has set aside the remission of 11 convicts who were convicted of gangraping Bilkis Bano and murdering her family members during the 2002 Gujarat riots. The court directed the convicts to surrender within a week and serve their remaining sentences. The decision comes as a major victory for Bilkis Bano, who has fought tirelessly for justice for over two decades. The Supreme Court held that the Gujarat government's decision to grant remission to the convicts was unconstitutional and arbitrary. The court observed that the remission was granted without considering the gravity of the crime and the impact it had on the victim. The decision has been welcomed by legal experts and activists, who have hailed it as a triumph of justice. It is expected to have a significant impact on the way courts deal with cases of sexual violence in the future. The case has been closely watched by the country, and the Supreme Court's decision has been met with widespread relief. It is hoped that the decision will send a strong message that sexual violence will not be tolerated and that perpetrators will be brought to justice.
