Can’t Make Decision on Releasing Convict Ravichandran, Says Madras HC on Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case

News 18  

One of the seven convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, RP Ravichandran, approached the Madurai Bench of Madras High Court on Tuesday for his release after serving for more than 29 years of jail term. Ravichandran, 51, who is currently lodged at the Madurai Central Jail, stated in his petition that he was under tremendous mental pressure and has become physically weak, and the court should consider his case as 1,600 convicts serving life imprisonment were released in the last few years for their “good conduct”. The government counsel also cited the earlier instance of the high court’s divisional bench, which dismissed the plea of Nalini on the same grounds few weeks ago. In September 2018, the previous government in Tamil Nadu had passed a cabinet resolution and recommended to the governor to release the seven Rajiv Gandhi assassination convicts on humanitarian grounds by exercising Article 161, a constitutional power given to the governors and President to grant pardon and remit the convicts.
