Supreme Court Issues Notice on Plea for Temporary Release of Realtor Jailed Over 7 Years

The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued notice to the State of Telangana on a plea seeking the temporary release of a real estate agent who has been in jail for over seven years in multiple consumer cases filed by plot buyers.

The plea argued that the sentences were directed to run consecutively instead of concurrently, even though the cases arise out of the same transaction.

The Court will now examine the request and hear submissions from both parties regarding the grant of temporary release.
