Supreme Court Sets Deadline for Odisha to Decide on Dara Singh's Remission Plea
The Supreme Court has given the Odisha government a final deadline to decide on the remission plea of Rabindra Kumar Pal, also known as Dara Singh, convicted for the 1999 murder of Australian missionary Graham Staines and his two sons. Despite previous orders, the state has delayed a decision, prompting the court to warn it will decide the matter if no action is taken by September 2. Singh has served over 26 years of his life sentence and seeks premature release under remission rules.
