The Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered release of AG Perarivalan, a life-term convict, who served over 30 years in the former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi's assassination case. A bench headed by Justice L Nageswara Rao invoked the extraordinary power under Article 142 to release Perarivalan. On March 9, the SC had granted him bail while taking note of his long incarceration and good conduct.
