Bhaskara Karanavar murder case: Remission row apart, no breaches in leave granted to Sherin

New Indian Express  

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Amid allegations of leniency and preferential treatment in recommending a remission of sentence to Sherin, the convict in the 2009 Bhaskara Karanavar murder, the state government’s move for her release has sparked controversy. During her term, Sherin was granted a total of 444 days of leave -- 345 ordinary and 92 emergency leave. The law department had also recommended the remission of Sherin’s sentence, as the original verdict did not explicitly state that she was to serve a life sentence without the possibility of release. Emergency leave, granted for urgent family matters like deaths or serious illnesses, is initially approved for up to 10 days by the jail superintendent.
