💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court criticized the Delhi government for refusing to release a convict, Sukhdev Yadav, serving a 20-year jail term without remission in the 2002 Nitish Katara murder case, even after completing his sentence. The court observed that detaining an individual beyond the legally permissible period could be considered as illegal detention.
