The Supreme Court recently closed a murder case that was registered in November 1988 in Malda district, West Bengal. The accused in the case included 105-year-old Mondal, his three sons, and two other individuals. Mondal had been a convict in the case, which stretched over three decades without resolution.
Following the court's intervention, relief was granted to Mondal, effectively ending the prolonged legal battle. The decision marks a rare instance of the judiciary closing a case involving a centenarian accused.
The closure reflects the court’s assessment of the case’s status after many years and considerations linked to the age and circumstances of the convict. The legal proceedings dating back to 1988 have now concluded with this final order from the Supreme Court.
