The Supreme Court has said that it will constitute a special bench to hear a plea challenging the pre-mature release of 11 convicts who had gang-raped Bilkis Bano and murdered her family members during the 2002 Godhra riots. A bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and justice PS Narasimha assured Bilkis Bano, who was being represented through her lawyer Shobha Gupta, that the new bench will be formed.
