SC Warns Odisha: Act on Dara Singh’s Release or We Will
The Supreme Court of India has expressed strong displeasure at the Odisha government’s delay in deciding on the premature release of Rabindra Pal alias Dara Singh, convicted in the 1999 Graham Staines murder case.
Despite earlier directions, the Sentence Review Board has yet to submit its report, prompting the Court to caution that it may intervene directly if the state fails to act.
Dara Singh has served over 26 years of his life sentence.
The Court’s stern warning underscores the urgency of resolving the matter, which continues to draw national attention.
The directive places mounting pressure on the Odisha government to expedite its decision and uphold judicial accountability.
