Chennai, Sep 12 (UNI) The Madras High Court on Thursday refused
to extend the parole granted to S Nalini, one of the seven life convicts
in the former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi assassination case.
When her plea seeking to extend the parole further till October 15 to
make arrangements for her daughter's marriage came up for hearing,
a Division Bench comprising Justices M M Sundresh and RMT Teekka
Raman declined to extend the parole.
Nalini was earlier granted one month parole (Ordinary leave) on July 25
and it was extended by three weeks on August 22.
Since the extended parole period was to expire on September 19, she
moved the present plea seeking extension till October 15.
Refusing her plea, the Bench said 'we have already granted enough
leave and it cannot be extended any further'.
'We cannot go beyond the rule and keep extending the leave', the
Bench added.
On a suggestion from the Bench, Nalini's counsel M Radhakrishnan
withdrew the plea following which it was dismissed as withdrawn.
