Justice Vipin Sanghi released Sharma on parole, enabling him to take care of his ailing parents. The convict had sought parole for six months.
The convict in his plea filed through advocate Amit Sahni had also challenged November 28 last year's order of the Delhi government rejecting his application for regular parole.
In his application, he claimed that his plea for regular parole was rejected by the Delhi government on "false and fictitious" ground and the authorities did not appreciate the fact that he was eligible for grant of parole.
The convict had shot his wife Naina 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's oven, leading the case to be popularly called 'Tandoor murder case'.
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 "strained personal relationship" and the convict was "not a confirmed criminal".
