Case History
Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Shankar Singh's writ petition on 27 October 2005, relying on the precedent judgment in Md. Munna v. Union of India (16 September 2005). However, the Court directed the State of West Bengal to consider Singh's pending remission application within six months, noting that he had been in custody for over 16 years.
