“The petitioner (Sharma) is allowed to be released on parole for five days, but he shall not visit any nightclub or discotheque,” the judge ordered, directing Sharma to furnish a personal bond of `50,000 and a surety of equal amount before the jail superintendent.
The parole in restricted to Chandigarh, Ambala and Karnal where the wedding and other functions are due to be held.
