SC to hear Rajiv Gandhi assassins’ plea

The Supreme Court on Tuesday will hear a plea by the convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case. The convicts are reportedly seeking that the case be tried in the apex court.

Meanwhile, the Madras High Court will also hear another petition by them seeking the setting aside of the President’s order that rejected their mercy pleas.

The convicts are pleading that the Madras High Court commute their life sentence to life imprisonment.
