Bilkis Bano on Wednesday approached the Supreme Court (SC), challenging the premature release of 11 convicts, who had gang-raped her and murdered her family members during the 2002 Godhra riots. Bano filed a review petition against the May order of the SC, which allowed the Gujarat government to apply the 1992 Remission Policy. Bilkis Banos' lawyer mentioned the matter before the Chief Justice of India, DY Chandrachud, for listing.
