Pulling up the state government for granting parole to murder convict Manu Sharma, the Delhi High Court chastised it for adopting a pick and choose policy and asked that prisoners be made aware of their rights.

Directing the Delhi government to amend the guidelines, a division bench of Chief Justice Ajit Prakash Shah and Justice S Muralidhar questioned whether the case of Manu Sharma, convicted of the murder of model Jessica Lall, had been scrutinised like any other convict.
