Abstract
In March 2021, the Calcutta High Court released a Nepalese citizen who had been detained for 41 years without a conclusion to his trial. During this period, he was denied adequate care for his mental conditions. His case was not an isolated incident but rather a symptom of a deeprooted crisis in India’s criminal justice administration.
