Jessica case: HC seeks Delhi’s reply on Manu’s release
New Delhi, February 20
The Delhi High Court asked the AAP government on Thursday to reply to a plea by Jessica Lal murder convict Manu Sharma, serving life imprisonment, seeking premature release.
Justice Brijesh Sethi asked the Delhi Government to file a status report in the matter along with the relevant records of Sentence Review Board (SRB). The court listed the matter for further hearing on March 30. Sharma has sought direction to set aside the September 19, 2019 order of the competent authority which had accepted the July 19 last year recommendations of SRB rejecting his early release plea.— PTI
