The Madras high court on Thursday refused to further extend the parole granted to Nalini Sriharan, a life convict in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case.
She has been out of prison on ordinary leave since July 25 to make arrangements for her daughter’s marriage. Nalini was initially granted leave only for a month which was later extended to one more month on her request. Since her leave was going to expire on September 19, she had moved the present plea seeking further extension.
Refusing to accept her application, a division bench of Justice M M Sundresh and Justice R M T Teekaa Raman said, “We have already granted enough leave. It cannot be extended any further. We cannot go beyond the rule and keep extending the leave. We have already used our discretion and granted leave twice. But this time we cannot consider the request.”
The state government had also opposed the plea contending that Nalini is coming up with some reason or the other for extension every time the parole expires.
Recording the same, the court said everyone has some problem, but we cannot help anymore and suggested the petitioner’s counsel M Radhakrishnan withdraw the plea. Accepting the suggestion, the advocate agreed to take back the petition.
In the plea, Nalini stated that her mother-in-law was arriving from Sri Lanka since her presence was essential to complete the marriage arrangements and requested the court to extend the parole till then so that she can handover her responsibilities.
