W.P.(Crl.) No. 491/2022
BILKIS YAKUB RASOOL VS UNION OF INDIA
The Supreme Court held that the Writ Petition filed by the Petitioner before the Supreme Court under Article 32 was maintainable. Because the Petitioner-victim’s Writ Petition was held to be maintainable, the Court did not answer the question on whether PIL petitions can be filed by other citizens to challenge remission orders. The Court found that the Government of Gujarat was not competent to pass the remission applications in favour of the convicted-Respondents. Therefore, the Supreme Court quashed the orders granting remission to the eleven convicts as illegal. The Supreme Court observed that the order in the Radheshyam Shah case directing the Government of Gujarat to consider the remission application was legally invalid because it was obtained by fraud. The judgment of the Court was unanimous and was authored by Justice Nagarathna.The eleven released convicts were directed to report back to concerned jail authorities within two weeks.
