The Supreme Court of India has dismissed the Gujarat government's plea seeking a review of its verdict in the Bilkis Bano case. The plea aimed to expunge certain remarks made against the state regarding the premature release of 11 convicts. The court stated that there was no error apparent on the face of the record. The Gujarat government had argued that the court's observations in the January 8 judgment, which held the state guilty of 'usurpation of power' and 'abuse of discretion,' were erroneous. The decision was made on September 26, 2024.
