Convict given fixed life for 20 yrs entitled to be freed after term: Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has ruled that convicts serving fixed-term life sentences, like 20 years, are automatically entitled to release upon completion of their term, without needing government remission. Justices Nagarathna and Viswanathan clarified this while ordering the release of Sukhdev Pehalwan in the Nitish Katara case.
