SC dismisses Bilkis Bano's plea seeking review of its earlier order

New Delhi: The Supreme Court has dismissed a plea filed by Bilkis Bano, seeking a review of its earlier order by which it had asked the Gujarat government to consider the petitions for remission of sentences of 11 convicts in the gang-rape case.

Bano was gang-raped and



seven members of her family were killed during the 2002 Gujarat riots.
