Life Convict Swami Shraddhanand Moves Supreme Court For Early Decision On His Mercy Petition

The Supreme Court granted a plea by Swami Shraddhanand seeking an expeditious hearing of his mercy petition, noting that he had been in custody for 30 years without a single day on parole. The plea highlighted the inhuman conditions the petitioner had endured and the length of time spent without parole. The Court acknowledged the importance of reviewing long-standing cases and ensuring that justice is served in a timely manner, especially when an individual has spent an excessive amount of time in custody without significant relief.
