Live Law

Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court comprising Chief Justice H.L. Lalit has rejected the Centre’s curative petition against its verdict commuting the death sentence of three convicts in former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi's assassination case to life imprisonment.The bench also upheld commutation. Lalit has rejected the Centre’s curative petition against its verdict commuting the death sentence of three convicts in former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi's assassination case to life imprisonment. The Government took a tough stand against the Tamil Nadu government’s decision to release the killers of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, saying there was no concern left for victims of crimes and governments were simply drawing mileage by remitting sentences of convicts held guilty by courts. Following this, on February 18, the Supreme Court granted relief to the three convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, Murugan, Santhan and Perarivalan, by commuting their death sentence into life term on the grounds that the 11-year delay in deciding their mercy petition by the Central government had a dehumanizing effect on them.
