NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered Gujarat government to pay Rs 50 lakh, a job and an accommodation to Bilkis Yakub Rasool as compensation for the ordeal she suffered as a 21-year-old in 2002 when a mob gang-raped her during a nightmarish 2002 communal riots and brutally killed her three-and-half-year-old daughter.Advocate Shobha, representing Bilkis pro bono since 2003 in the SC and succeeded in getting the trial transferred to Mumbai from Gujarat, poignantly narrated her 17-long years of suffering."She has been stripped of every vestige of dignity, had no means to support herself and led a nomadic life with small assistances offered by two NGOs. A compensation of Rs one crore would be a just and proper," she pleaded. On March 29, Shobha had rejected Rs 5 lakh interim compensation offered by Gujarat government.Visibly moved by plight of Bilkis, whose dreams of a normal life in Gujarat was shattered by the vicious riots when communal mobs wreaked vengeance on innocents in the aftermath of the burning of Sabarmati express at Godhra killing 59 kar sevaks returning from Ayodhya, a bench of CJI Ranjan Gogoi and Justices Deepak Gupta and Sanjiv Khanna said Rs 50 lakh would be a just compensation as it also ordered the state to provide Bilkis with a government job and accommodation at her place of choice.In response to Shobha's request for central government health services facilities to Bilkis and her family, Gujarat government counsel Hemantika Wahi said that the state has excellent state health services where she could avail healthcare facilities. But, when she attempted to show the state's decisiveness in taking disciplinary action against erring doctors and police officials, who were convicted for tampering with evidence, the bench silenced her saying, "consider yourself lucky as we are refraining from observing anything against you."At the time of sexual assault in 2002, Bilkis was pregnant. "The girl born to her in 2003 has now grown up and aspires to be a lawyer. I will be very happy if she chooses to join my office as an advocate after completing her law degree," Shobha told TOI.The SC asked the state government to immediately implement the punishment awarded after departmental proceedings to the erring police officials, which included denial of all retiral benefits to three, dismissal of one from service and demotion by two ranks to an IPS officer.During the 2002 communal riots, Bilkis was gang raped while 14 others, including several of her family members were murdered. Only seven bodies could be recovered. But, local police had filed a closure report. The SC had quashed the closure report and ordered CBI to probe the case afresh. The CBI had charge-sheeted 18 persons including five policemen and two doctors, the latter seven for tampering with evidence to help acquittal of accused.Trial court had convicted 11 persons and awarded life imprisonment but acquitted the policemen and doctors. On the CBI's appeal, the HC had convicted the policemen and the doctor couple. Shoba had said the rape survivor was awarded meagre compensation by the trial court, which had asked convicts to pay Rs 2,000 each to Bilkis. The HC did not enhance the compensation, she said. HC had had upheld life imprisonment for 11 men convicted for the gang rape of Bilkis and murder of her family members.
