The Madras High Court yesterday reserved its order on the early release plea of Nalini, who is serving a life sentence for her involvement in former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi's assassination.

Advocate General G. Masilamani told Court that the Government needed time to file a detailed counter affidavit to explain its stand and that it opposed Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy's petition seeking to implead himself in the case opposing her release. Judge S. Nagamuthu reserved his orders on the matter.

Appearing for Nalini, her counsel S. Doraiswamy also opposed Swamy's intervention in the matter saying he had no locus standi.
