CHENNAI: The Madras High Court on Wednesday reserved its orders on a plea filed by mother of Nalini, a life convict in the assassination case of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi.

According to counsel for the petitioner K Radhakrishnan, Murugan recently lost his father and wanted to call his grieving mother. Recording submissions of State Public Prosecutor A Natarajan and Assistant Solicitor General of India G Karthikeyan, the two-member bench of justices N Kirubakaran and VM Velumani observed that the video call exercise, if allowed, can be videographed and be held under close supervision. The bench reserved orders on the plea.
