Madras HC ordered notice to the Tamil Nadu government and the Advisory Board, Special Prison for Women, Vellore, on a writ petition by Nalini, a life convict in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, seeking premature release.<\/p>\n
Justice P. Jyothimani said the notice would be returnable in two weeks.
\nNalini said that nearly a year had passed after a HC order on her earlier petition, but the government had not reconstituted the Advisory Board. Her request for premature release was not at all considered. <\/p>\n
In its order, the court had quashed the proceedings of the board and directed the government to reconsider her request for premature release by a validly constituted board and to submit a report to the government. <\/p>\n
On receipt of the report, the government should pass appropriate orders. The petitioner prayed the court for a direction to the authorities to constitute a validly convened advisory board and to submit a report to the government and take a decision in the light of the orders passed by the court. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
