2002 Nitish Katara murder case: No jail beyond fixed term, rules Supreme Court; slams delay in releasing prisoners

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 12 August 2025 ()
The Supreme Court of India has mandated the immediate release of convicts across all states and union territories who have completed their court-mandated sentences, provided they are not implicated in other cases. This directive follows the court's concern about prisoners being detained beyond their sentence terms. The order was issued during the case of Sukhdev Yadav, convicted in the Nitish Katara murder, who finished his 20-year sentence in March.
