AFFIDAVIT

I, M.A.Muthalakan, Hindu, aged about 60 years, District President,
South Chennai Central Congress Committee, Tamilnadu Congress
Committee, No.6/36, Corporation Colony, 2nd Street, T.Nagar, Chennai-17, do hereby solemnly affirm and sincerely state as follows:

1. I submit that I am the petitioner herein as such I am well acquainted with the facts and circumstances of the case.

2. I submit that I belong to a political party namely Indian National
Congress, serving as a District President, South Chennai Central Congress.
From the year 1984, I am a member of the said political party and served under various capacities including Member of Pradesh Congress Committee and Member of All India Congress Committee. During the year of 1991, after the Parliament election was announced I was fully engaged with party activities to canvas and promote the congress candidate, under the leadership of Tamilnadu Congress Committee President Valapadi K.Ramamoorthy. In fact, I was also one of the in-charge to Sriperumpudur Parliament Constituency. Even on the previous day of Rajiv Gandhi assassination, I suppose to accompany with Late Rajiv Gandhi. However, due to last minute changes, I was held up at Krishnagiri, on the very same night, it was quite a shock to come to know about the assassination of our beloved leader Rajiv Gandhi at Sriperumpudur by the members of Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.

3. I submit that subsequent to the assassination, the accused namely Nalini Sriharan, Murugan, Santhan, A.G.Perarivalan, Jayakumar, Robert Payas, and P.Ravichandran were arrested and tried with appropriate provisions of law and finally death sentence was imposed upon them and the same was confirmed by Hon’ble Apex Court of India. From then onwards, time and again, the convicts filed several petitions one after another for the past 30 years. It is needless to state that the case was investigated by Central Bureau of Investigation. Apart from that, a special investigation team was constituted to uproot the active involvement of Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and other accused persons. After thorough investigation and trial, the above said capital punishment was imposed upon them.

4. I submit that after independence of India, in no case, no convicts approached the court of law as many times and consumed the time of the court, whereas convicts of Rajiv Gandhi Assassination case. As stated supra, in repeated intervals, filed petition one after another and have obtained orders such as parole, commute of sentence, etc. It is needless to state that once the person is convicted and the same is confirmed upto the Apex Court, the remedy only before the appropriate Government, particularly in a case of this nature before the Government of India, whereas in the case on the hand, the petitioner and others were considered for parole on different occasions with different reasons, they sought for bail which is alien to the Criminal Procedure Code. The Hon’ble Supreme Court while considering the case of one of the convicts A.G.Perarivalan granted bail without assigning the reason but only with the special power conferred upon them.

5. I submit that now in the present matter, the main consideration is to decide on premature release of the writ petitioner based on the state government letter in that regard. Here is the case, the convicts has not preferred any appropriate petition which straight away connects with the order of conviction, therefore, they cannot be considered on par with other accused A.G.Perarivalan. The Hon’ble Supreme Court considered and passed order only with regard to one of the convict A.G.Perarivalan and it does not have any binding nature as every other accused/convicts stand on a different footing.

6. I submit that furthermore, one important fact to be borne in mind in this case is that, though the assassination of Late Shri. Rajiv Gandhi was conspired post his Prime Ministership, it was primarily instigated and conspired as a consequence for the acts/decisions taken by his Government, while he served as the Prime Minister of India. Thereby, making the convicts not just offenders of any other murder case but to be construed as convicts of a murder conspiracy that had direct bearing on the Sovereignty, Security and Political Independence of India.

7. I submit that considering the bail petition for convicts that too the person who has committed heinous crime with having criminal conspiracy with Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, that is internationally abandoned organization would be a wrong signal to the society and it would be a wrong precedent if they were considered bail particularly after conviction and confirmation by the Hon’ble Apex Court.

8. I submit that that the submission of the State Government clearly shows that they support the stand of the convicts and they would not make submission on merits of the case. Therefore, I being the aggrieved party as we have lost not only the leader Shri.Late.Rajiv Gandhi and other party cadres in the fateful day. Therefore, I am the competent person to be impleaded in this matter to put forth the case. Unless and otherwise, I am impleaded, no real and true facts will be placed by the State Government which is just and necessary to decide the bail petition.

Therefore, it is humbly prayed that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to permit this petitioner to implead in WP.SR.No.27936 of 2020 and thus render justice.

Petitioner

Solemnly affirmed at Chennai Before me on this the 23rd day of March 2022 and signed his name in my presence.
Advocate: Chennai

ராஜிவ் கொலை வழக்கு ஆயுள் தண்டனை கைதி நளினிக்கு ஜாமீன் வழங்க எதிர்ப்பு தெரிவித்து தென்சென்னை காங்கிரஸ் மாவட்ட தலைவர் உயர் நீதிமன்றத்தில் மனுத்தாக்கல் செய்துள்ளார்.

ராஜிவ் கொலை வழக்கில் ஆயுள் தண்டனை கைதி பேரறிவாளனுக்கு உச்ச நீதிமன்றம் ஜாமீன் வழங்கியதை அடுத்து, அதே வழக்கில் ஆயுள் கைதியாக உள்ள நளினியும், ஜாமீன் கேட்டு மனுத்தாக்கல் செய்துள்ளார்.

இந்நிலையில், நளினிக்கு ஜாமீன் வழங்க எதிர்ப்பு தெரிவித்து, தென் சென்னை மாவட்ட காங்கிரஸ் தலைவர் முத்தழகன், மனுத்தாக்கல் செய்துள்ளார்.

அந்த மனுவில், ராஜிவ் கொலை வழக்கில் தண்டிக்கப்பட்ட நளினி, தொடர்ந்து நீதிமன்றத்தில் அடுத்தடுத்து மனுக்களை தாக்கல் செய்து, வருவதாகவும், சுதந்திர இந்தியாவில் எந்த வழக்கிலும் எந்த கைதியும் இதுபோல் நீதிமன்றத்தை நாடியதில்லை எனக் குறிப்பிட்டுள்ளார்.

உச்ச நீதிமன்றம், பேரறிவாளனுக்கு மட்டும் தான் ஜாமீன் வழங்கியுள்ளதாகவும், அந்த உத்தரவு மற்ற கைதிகளுக்கு பொருந்தாது எனவும் மனுவில் தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.

முன்னாள் பிரதமரை கொன்ற இவர்கள், வெறும் கொலை குற்றவாளிகள் மட்டுமல்ல எனவும், இந்திய இறையாண்மைக்கும், பாதுகாப்பு மற்றும் இந்திய அரசியல் மீது நேரடி தாக்கத்தை ஏற்படுத்தும் கொலை வழக்கு இது எனவும் கூறியுள்ளார்.

இவர்களுக்கு ஜாமீன் வழங்கினால் தவறான முன்னுதாரணமாகி விடும் எனவும், கைதிகளுக்கு ஆதரவாக மாநில அரசு வாதங்களை முன்வைக்கும் என்பதால் தன்னையும் இந்த வழக்கில் ஒரு தரப்பாக சேர்க்க உத்தரவிட வேண்டும் எனவும் மனுவில் கோரியுள்ளார்.
