The Supreme Court on Friday refused to give convicts in the Bilkis Bano case any further “breathing time” to surrender.

“When we passed our direction on January 8 for you to surrender, we gave you two weeks to put your affairs in order,” Justice B.V. Nagarathna, heading a Bench comprising Justice Ujjal Bhuyan, told the convicts’ lawyers.
