Amid a raging controversy over the release of murderer ex-MP Anand Mohan Singh from a Bihar jail, the Supreme Court on May 1, 2023, agreed to hear a petition on the matter.
The top court said that it would hear on May 8 a petition challenging the Bihar government's decision to release Anand Mohan on April 27 by changing jail rules.
Mohan was serving life imprisonment for the murder of Gopalganj district magistrate G Krishnaiah in 1994.
His widow, Uma Krishnaiah, had sought an urgent hearing in the Supreme Court.
