The Supreme Court has declined to continue the plea of a life convict in the 2003 Haren Pandya murder case after the State of Gujarat said it had rejected his remission application, leaving him free to challenge the rejection before the High Court.
The Supreme Court today dismissed interim bail pleas by two Bilkis Bano case convicts, rejecting their request for relief and questioning the maintainability of their plea. The court emphasized the nullification of the Gujarat government’s remission and highlighted the convicts’ fraud and misrepresentation. Review petitions by the government and convicts are pending.
