New Delhi, July 19 (HS). The Supreme Court refused to hear the petition seeking interim bail of two convicts in the Bilkis Bano case. The Supreme Court refused to hear the petition, questioning the legitimacy of the petition.

Radheshyam Bhagwandas and Rajubhai Babulal had filed a petition demanding that they be granted interim bail until the Gujarat government decides on their new demand for release. It is noteworthy that on January 8, the Supreme Court had cancelled the Gujarat government's decision to release 11 convicts in the Bilkis Bano case prematurely and ordered all the convicts to surrender.
