Bilkis Bano case: SC denies convicts’ plea for surrender extension

The Supreme Court dismisses the convicts’ request for an extension of time to surrender in the Bilkis Bano case, ruling their reasons as insufficient. The court upholds its earlier direction for the convicts to surrender by Sunday, rejecting pleas citing medical issues and family responsibilities. The apex court ruled that the reasons provided by the convicts for seeking more time were without merit. Consequently, they are required to surrender by Sunday, in line with the court’s earlier direction.
