Rajiv Gandhi assassination: Supreme Court likely to decide on release of conspirators today

December 02, 2015 08:39

The Supreme Court is likely to pronounce its verdict today on whether the Tamil Nadu government could grant remission and release conspirators in Rajiv Gandhi assassination case after commutation of their death sentence into life imprisonment by the apex court on the grounds of inordinate delay by the President in deciding their mercy petition. The apex court by its February 18, 2014 order commuting the death sentence of V Sriharan alias Murugan, AG Perarivalan alias Arivu and T Suthendraraja alias Santhan had said that 11-year delay in deciding their mercy petitions was unreasonable and de-humanizing.
