Money and politics play role

The money and politics have played a vital role in granting parole to Manu Sharma. The controversy surrounding the granting of parole in brazen violation of norms and its proper application is rufusing to die down, especially, after it came to light that Delhi police had objected parole to him. The way Manu Sharma,convicted killer of model Jessica Lal, was granted parole by the government clearly smacks of favouritism towards him by the Delhi government. Manu’s parole also reflects that the rich and well connected , especially, politically convicted killer can get parole at his will. The three grounds Manu Sharma’s put forwarded to grant parole does stand the test of reason and all are flimsy ones. He took parole on the grounds that he had to attend the rites of his granmother, attend to his ailing mother and look after his business which needs his urgent attention.One by one all his grounds have been found false. His grandmother died in 2008 itself, his mother is in good health and paricipating in her routine business and in his absence his business empire is unaffected. Delhi police made enquiry into his grounds of parole and found all are false. Which is why they had objected to his parole. As Chandigarh is the home turf of Manu Sharma and his father is an important politician of Haryana, Delhi government deliberately got Chandigarh police and to report from there and they gave report in favour of parole to him.Sheila Dikshit government went by the Chandigarh police report and granted parole to Manu Sharma after doing the paper work very hastily. It clearly shows that the rich and influencial people can get away from the clutches of law any time. Thousands of applications for parole by the convicted persons undergoing imprisoment for months and years are lying but no action is taken only because neither they are rich nor are they politically well-connected. The granting of parole to Manu Sharma by Sheila Dikshit clearly shows how political influence is stronger than the rule of law. Though the parole is the right of the convicted persons, it depends on the circumstances and how urgent it is for them to go out of jail. It is the media of the country that compelled Manu Sharma to surrender to jail authorities before the expiry of his parole. As he was found in a club partying, media brought his activities and how he misuse his parole to light that compelled him to surrender and get back to Tihar jail. If there was no influence exerted on Delhi government to grant parole to Manu Sharma, why did it not consider the objection raise by Delhi police to his parole. When the papers of parole were forwarded to Lt. T Khanna for his apprioval as he is the final authority in the matter, he should also have used his discretion and sent them back to Delhi government to review. Sheila Dikshit government has committed the brazen violation of all norms and procedures in matters of parole and obliged the influencial Congress leader of Haryana in granting parole to his son Manu Sharma. All credit goes to media that it compelled the convicted killer to surrender to the jail authorities before the expiry of his parole.
