Rajiv Gandhi assassination: SC refers case to Constitution Bench, Politicos welcome move

Politicos welcome the Supreme Court's decision to refer the case of release of Rajiv Gandhi's assassins to a Constitution bench. The bench will decide whether the Centre or the Tamil Nadu government had the authority to release the seven convicts in the case after remission of their jail terms, within three months. BJP leader Subramanian Swamy welcoming the decision said that the convicts can get only one relief which they have got already. Further, CPI leader D Raja also welcomed the SC's decision on the basis of the division of power in between the centre and the state.
