New Delhi, December 14
The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to entertain submissions seeking an early setting up of a fresh Bench to hear Bilkis Bano’s plea challenging the remission of sentence of 11 convicts by the Gujarat government in her gang-rape case.
A Bench comprising Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice PS Narasimha was urged by lawyer Shobha Gupta, appearing for Bano, that another Bench was needed to be constituted to hear the case.
