Chennai: The Tamil Nadu government today opposed in the Madras High Court the plea of Nalini, a life convict in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, seeking six months parole, saying she was not eligible for the relief.
A counter affidavit filed by the deputy home secretary said she was not eligible for grant of ordinary leave as per the Tamil Nadu Suspension of Sentence Rules 1982 and Section 435 of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973.
The government said the probationary officer, who looks into requests for parole by convicts, has not recommended grant of six months leave.
She has moved the court seeking six months of ordinary leave for making arrangements for the wedding of her daughter Harithra, who is living in London.
She moved the court saying there was no response to her representation to the prison authorities seeking the leave.
She was not eligible for grant of ordinary leave and in addition she had also not provided any valid proof, such as visa of her daughter for her proposed visit to India for the wedding. Under the pretext of making arrangements for the wedding, the petitioner said she wants to get ordinary leave, the counter affidavit said opposing the plea.
