Supreme Court Grants Final Bail to 105-Year-Old Murder Convict, Closes Case
Rasik Chandra Mondal, a 105-year-old convicted in a 1988 murder case and imprisoned since 1994, has been granted final bail by the Supreme Court, which closed the case and waived any remaining sentence. The court considered his advanced age and health issues, ensuring he will not be returned to custody despite the life sentence. Mondal's appeals were dismissed by the Calcutta High Court and the Supreme Court before this relief was granted in 2024.
