In Brief
Ganga Ram was convicted under Section 302 IPC (murder) in 2002 and sentenced to life imprisonment. His conviction was confirmed by the Rajasthan High Court in 2010. The Supreme Court heard his Criminal Appeal after he had spent 17 years in custody. The Court granted him bail pending the appeal's disposal, finding that the facts and circumstances justified release, provided he furnished a bond and two sureties acceptable to the trial judge. The Court also directed expedited hearing of the appeal.
