Correct The Error

GoI right to appeal SC release of Rajiv killers

GoI’s review petition against the early release of six Rajiv Gandhi assassination convicts accords the Supreme Court an opportunity to correct a mistake. A former PM’s assassination, via a conspiracy hatched by a foreign terror outfit, is no ordinary case. Few democracies will allow such convicts to walk free. SC granted them parity with the seventh convict AG Perarivalan, released in May. But this rarest of rare case was examined too narrowly.
