Indian, 107, granted bail - for now (BBC) [Thanks to Sanjeev for the link]

Seventeen years ago, Nankau Prasad Mishra was convicted of culpable homicide not amounting to murder for attacking Jwala Prasad in a land dispute in the state of Uttar Pradesh. He was 90 years old then. He has been in and out of jail since.

The Lucknow High Court overturned a six-year jail sentence and freed him last March. But the Uttar Pradesh state government appealed to the Supreme Court, which ordered him back to jail in August this year. He recently got bail on health reasons (guys, he is 107 years old!) but only until the Lucknow High Court rules on his case.

Don't the lawyers and the government officials have some younger crooks to catch?
