NewsClick HR head, who turned approver, to be freed

Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma ordered Chakravarty's release from custody on Monday, taking into account his medical condition and that Delhi Police did not object to it, considering he was granted pardon in the case by a trial court after turning approver. Noting that Chakravarty was dependent on a wheelchair for his day-to-day movement, Justice Sharma said his medical condition "warrants special consideration and calls for a humane approach".
