The Supreme Court stated on Thursday that we will not rule on the ruling of the coordinating court and refuse to accept the "judicial legitimacy" argument in the Bilkisbano case. The court stated that the 2021 ruling allowed the Gujarat government to consider the application for relief, but would not prohibit judicial review of the subsequent relief order. Judges BV Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuyan are hearing a series of requests for amnesty from 11 criminals who were sentenced to life imprisonment for multiple murders and violent sexual assault during the 2002 Gujarat community riots. 


On Independence Day last year, after the government of Gujarat approved the prisoner's application for commutation, they were allowed to walk freely. Deputy Attorney General SV Raju, who represented the criminal and earlier represented the state government in court, stated that after the Supreme Court made an earlier decision to demand that Gujarat dispose of its rapists, Birkis Bano's rapists were able to receive a reduced sentence. The application for early release does not entitle the court to reconsider any issues related to state jurisdiction from now on - "This issue has been resolved by this court.

Another reason for action is that they question these amnesty orders. You cannot say that due to last year's decision, these reduction orders will not be questioned by anyone. This is the starting point. But this is the end The senior lawyer cited the Supreme Court's ruling on the principle of precedent in the Rupa Ashok Hurra (202) case, repeating, "But you cannot rule on the ruling of the coordinating court. This is the event held in Rupa Ashok Hurra," Judge Buyan interrupted at this time. The judge clarified that our review is limited to commutation orders. We will not make a judgment on the ruling of the coordinating court. 


This is based on a reduction order. The reasons for the action are different. This is very clear to us, "Judge Nagaratna added. Malhotra insisted on working hard to persuade the judge, pointing out that Bano sought a review of the May 2022 verdict in his petition (which was subsequently rejected by the Supreme Court) and recently questioned the reduction of 11 convicts' sentences. He argued, "Look at the reasons for both petitions. They are both
