The Supreme Court had in the month of October,
2008 issued a notice seeking reply from
the Tamil Nadu government for Ravichandran’s
plea.
It is worth noting that Ravichandran was
involved in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination
in 1991 and was convicted under various
offences, which includes anti-terror law
and explosive act. He was given both capital
punishment and life sentence on January
28, 1998. Later the Supreme Court converted
it to life sentence.
The advisory board has claimed that he might
restore his links with the LTTE if he was
released and hence asked the apex court
not to release on the above said grounds.
