Aparajita Bill, which proposes stricter penalties for rape cases, has been returned to the West Bengal state government by Governor CV Ananda Bose. The bill, passed by Assembly last year, was sent to the Raj Bhavan and subsequently to the President for assent. The Governor’s office stated that the bill violates certain constitutional provisions and even contradicts Supreme Court rulings.
