AMN / CHENNAI

The Madras High Court today rejected former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi assassination case convict Nalini’s plea for premature release.

Upholding the single judge’s order, the division bench said Nalini will have to wait for the outcome of the matter pending before the Supreme Court, and dismissed her appeal.

A division bench of Madras High Court had reserved the order on 24th of this month on the plea by Nalini, challenging the order of a single judge rejecting her prayer for premature release under a 1994 state government scheme under Article 161 by which Governor has powers to grant pardon.
