Here’s the simple arithmetic that the Sentence Review Board seems to have missed.

Singh was acquitted by a trial court in December 1999 and convicted by the High Court in October 2006.

The crime happened in January 1996.

So, in the 22 and a half years since, if he was acquitted and out of jail for 7 years, he has clearly been in jail for less than 16 years.

So to the Delhi home minister Satyendar Jain, who heads the Sentence Review Board, and to the other six board members, I Have A Question.
