In the recent decision the Supreme Court emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law by revoking the remission granted to the convicts involved in the Bilkis Bano case. The court highlighted the need for those involved in safeguarding the rule of law to remain unaffected by the potential outcomes and ramifications. Furthermore, it unequivocally stated that the enforcement of the rule of law should not be influenced by sentiments of compassion or sympathy.Recently the remission of 11 individuals convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in multiple murders and gang rapes including Bilkis Bano, during the 2002 communal riots in Gujarat was nullified by the Supreme Court.
