The Gujarat government on Tuesday, 13 February moved the Supreme Court seeking a review of its 8 January verdict quashing the remission granted to 11 convicts in the 2002 Bilkis Bano case, saying that certain observations made against the state were "highly unwarranted," Live Law reported.
What did the petition say? In its petition, the Gujarat government said the apex court’s observation holding the state guilty of “usurpation of power” and “abuse of discretion” for complying with an order of another top court bench, was an “error apparent on the face of the record."
