On Friday 21st Dec, the Delhi Court ordered the release of Sushil Sharma.He was Convicted for burning his wife Naina Sahni and attempted to burn her in a “tandoor” in 1985 !!
The Delhi HC on Tuesday sought to know why the sentence review board had rejected Sharma’s premature release on grounds of “brutality”, despite the Supreme Court ruling in 2013 that “there was no evidence that he had chopped her body to pieces and tried to get rid of it in a tandoor”.
In 2003, the lower court awarded him death sentence which was later upheld by the Delhi HC in 2007. The decision was given by Justice Siddharth Mridul & Justice Sangita Dhingra Sehgal.
