    Provide Rs. 50L compensation to rape victim Bilkis Bano: SC
  • The Supreme Court directed the Gujarat government to pay compensation of Rs. 50 lakh to gangrape victim Bilkis Bano along with a government job and accommodation.

    Bano was gangraped during the 2002 Gujarat riots. In a plea, she sought exemplary compensation from the Gujarat government, refusing to accept its Rs. 5 lakh compensation offer. The SC termed the Rs. 5 lakh compensation as "interim".

  • According to Bano's lawyer Shobha Gupta, the rape victim has no place to live and has been living a nomadic life since 2002 when she was gangraped. Therefore, Gupta said, Bano should be granted exemplary compensation.

    The SC, on 30 March, gave the Gujarat government two weeks' time to take disciplinary action against the police officials, including an IPS officer, convicted in the case.

  • Gupta also said that the Gujarat government didn't take any action against the erring police officials convicted by the Bombay HC.

    She added that one IPS officer, who is currently posted in Gujarat, is even retiring this year while four other officials have already retired. However, no action like blocking their retirement benefits and pensions has been taken against them.
