💨 Abstract

The National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) has filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking the release of elderly and terminally ill convicted prisoners in India. The petition highlights the dire conditions these prisoners face, including lack of medical care and dignified living conditions, and argues that their prolonged incarceration violates their fundamental rights. The NALSA has launched a special campaign to identify and facilitate the release of these vulnerable inmates.
