💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court has agreed to consider a plea by the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) to release elderly and terminally ill prisoners on bail in India. The plea highlights the need for these prisoners to receive specialized care and individual attention, which may not be possible in overcrowded prisons. The court has asked NALSA to move their plea to respective high courts for relief.
