Supreme Court Finalizes Bail for 105-Year-Old Convict in 1988 Murder Case
The Supreme Court of India has finalized bail for Rasik Chandra Mondal, a 105-year-old convicted in a 1988 murder case and imprisoned since 1994. Considering his advanced age and health issues, the court waived any remaining sentence and ordered that he will not be taken back into custody. Mondal's appeals were dismissed by lower courts, but the Supreme Court granted bail in 2024, closing the case and allowing him to live freely.
