ground and the authorities did not appreciate the fact that he was eligible for grant of parole.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Respondent (state) has failed to appreciate that the petitioner (Sharma) has already undergone more than 20 years in custody and six months have already elapsed from the date of termination of the previous parole,&#8221; the application, filed through advocate Amit Sahni, said.<\/p>\n<p>Sharma has said that his parole application should have been allowed by the authorities &#8220;considering the health and age of his parents&#8221; as he is the only son to look after them and has never misused the concession of parole or furlough granted to him earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Sharma had shot his wife Naina Sahni with his licensed revolver on the night of July 2, 1995, taken her body to a restaurant, chopped it into pieces and tried to burn them in the restaurant&#8217;s oven, leading the case to be popularly called the &#8216;Tandoor murder case&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court had commuted to life imprisonment the death penalty awarded to Sharma by a trial court in 2003 and upheld by the High Court in 2007, saying the murder was the outcome of &#8220;strained personal relationship&#8221; and the convict was &#8220;not a confirmed criminal&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>While reducing the sentence awarded to him, the apex court had said that &#8220;life sentence is for the whole of remaining life of Sharma subject to remission granted by the appropriate government under the Code of Criminal Procedure.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211;
