The Bombay High Court today rejected bail pleas of the seven convicts in the 2002 Bilkis Bano gangrape case after observing that it was a "serious offence".
"Considering the seriousness and gravity of the case, the accused cannot be released on bail till the final disposal of their appeals against conviction," a division Bench of Justices N H Patil and Mridula Bhatkar observed.
All the seven accused were sentenced to life imprisonment by a trial court in 2008 following which they moved HC seeking bail pending disposal of the appeals.
According to prosecution, on March 3, 2002, Bilkis Bano's family was attacked by a mob at Randhikpur village, about 250 kms from Ahmedabad, during the post-Godhra riots.
Eight members of her family were killed and Bilkis was gangraped, while six other members of her family went missing.
