The Supreme Court on Friday asked the State of Gujarat to place on record the documents concerning the remission granted to 11 convicts sentenced to life imprisonment in the Bilkis Bano gangrape case.
A Bench of Justices Ajay Rastogi and B.V. Nagarathna also issued a notice on a petition filed by the Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra, who said the release "completely fails to bolster either social or human justice".
The Court had issued a notice in an earlier petition filed by CPI(M) leader Subhashini Ali, independent journalist and filmmaker Revati Laul and former philosophy professor and activist Roop Rekh Varma against the convicts' release on August 5.
