On Friday, the Supreme Court rejected to hear a request from two of the 11 prisoners in the Bilkis Bano case, who were challenging the January 8 ruling that invalidated their remission. A panel of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Sanjay Kumar dismissed the plea as "absolutely misconceived" and questioned how it could sit in appeal over a decision issued by another bench of the Supreme Court, reported PTI. 

"What is this plea? How is this plea maintainable? This is absolutely misconceived. How can an Article 32 petition be filed? We can't sit in appeal over an order passed by another bench," the bench said over the plea of Bilkis Bano convicts' plea per the news agency report.
