Justice Mridula Bhatkar, who had upheld the conviction of 11 convicts in the Bilkis Bano gang-rape case, urged people not to blame the judiciary for the release of the convicts, stating it was the government’s decision.
According to judicial officers involved in all stages of the Bilkis Bano case, the government made the decision to grant remission to the accused, and the judiciary cannot be blamed.
Refraining from the comment on the current situation Justice Bhatkar said, “I don’t understand why people are protesting against the judiciary. Rather, the judiciary has tried its best to protect the rights of the people. We feel bad when we are criticised and we cannot defend ourselves.”
“All the three tiers of the judicial system have upheld the law, from Sessions to the Supreme Court have worked towards delivering justice to people.” said Justice Bhatkar on the remissions that have been granted by the Gujarat government to the accused in the Bilkis Bano case of 2002.
