Lalung was only 23 when he was arrested in 1951 for a petty crime and never faced a trial. He went on to serve almost 54 years initially in police custody and later on at the Tezpur Mental hospital.
The SC has granted interim relief of Rs three lakh to Machang Lalung, who was kept in jail for 54 years without trial.
