NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has ordered the release of AG Perarivalan, who convicted and serving a life sentence in the assassination case of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. The court said that the governor took more time in disposing of the mercy petition of the convict. Perarivalan had said that the Tamil Nadu government took the decision to release him, but the governor, after keeping the file with him for a long time, sent it to the President. This is against the constitution.
