From
R. Sudha,
Advocate,
Madras High Court, Chennai.

To
The Hon’ble Chief Justice,
The High Court of Judicature at Madras, Chennai.

SUB: Enrolment of A.G. Perarivalan, convicted assassin of former Prime Minister Shri. Rajiv Gandhi, as an advocate by the Bar Council.
My Lords,
I am lawyer with more than 26 years of standing in the Bar, and I have had the had the distinction of having held several elected positions, including the first-ever and the only ever Vice-President in the Madras High Court Advocates Association (MHAA). I am a sitting member of the Lok Sabha.
I am writing this representation to your Lordships to bring to your notice how you had been misled and misguided by vested interests into giving the enrolment speech on April 27, 2026, when A.G. Perarivalan, who is a convicted assassin of former Prime Minister of India, Shri. Rajiv Gandhi Ji, as an advocate.
First of all, the incumbent office-bearers of the Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry lacked the legal and statutory competence to organise and preside over the enrolment function, as their tenure had lapsed, fresh elections to the Bar Council held and the counting of votes is underway.
It has to be borne in mind that the enrolment application of A.G. Perarivalan was held back by the Council at least for six months. And, with a dishonest intent, they included his name in the list of lawyers to be enrolled on April 27. To cover their statutory incompetence and the vested interest in enrolling A.G. Perarivalan, they had misguided Your Lordships to deliver the enrolment address. It was their malicious intent to taint the office of the Hon’ble Chief Justice of Madras High Court.

2
My Lords, Perarivalan’s death penalty was confirmed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in 1999 (Superintendent of Police, CBI/SIT vs. Nalini and Ors. (11.05.1999 – SC), and he came to be released following a May 18, 2022, order of a three-judge bench of the Hon’ble Supreme Court. The Hon’ble bench invoked its extraordinary powers to do complete justice under Article 142 of the Constitution and ordered the release of Perarivalan, a convict in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. It ruled that there has been an inordinate delay on the part of the Governor in deciding the plea of remission of Perarivalan under Article 161 of the Constitution.
His release pursuant to the exercise of its extraordinary jurisdiction by the Supreme Court can never be equated with normal conviction, sentence, commuting of sentence and release. He is a person convicted by the Hon’ble Supreme Court itself for the assassination of former Prime Minister of India Shri. Rajiv Gandhi Ji.
It is true that Section 24(C) of the Advocates Act, 1961 says: Provided that the disqualification for enrolment as aforesaid shall cease to have effect after a period of two years has elapsed since his 3[released or dismissal or, as the case may be, removal.]
This explanation, however, will not be applicable to Perarivalan, who is a convict for the murder of a former Prime Minister of India Shri. Rajiv Gandhi, and his association with the LTTE, which is an internationally banned terrorist organisation. He continues to be an active member or sympathiser of the LTTE. An act of terrorism cannot be equated with usual crime, however grave it could be, for the purpose of taking a spot in the hallowed halls of legal fraternity.
For the above said reasons, I humbly request Your Lordships to:
1. Take suo motu note of the illegal enrolment of A.G. Perarivalan, and the gross violation of the spirit of the Advocates Act, 1961, and pass necessary orders.
2. To direct the Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry to withdraw the enrolment of A.G. Perarivalan with immediate effect for his active and continuing association with the LTTE, which is a banned terrorist organisation, and for his convicted legal status.
3. To order suspension of A.G. Perarivalan’s enrolment pending inquiry.
4. Order an inquiry into the manner in which the Tamil Nadu police conducted the mandatory due diligence prior to giving clearance for A.G. Perarivalan to be enrolled as an advocate.

3
5. Order a probe into the reasons why his application was held back for six months, and then suddenly included for enrolment by a set of Bar council office-bearers whose tenure has already lapsed.
6. Call for the Bar council proceedings prior to the April 27, 2026 enrolment and check the inputs of the members, whose tenure has already lapsed, paving the way for A.G. Perarivalan’s enrolment.
7. Order a probe to ascertain as to how the assassination convict managed to gain admission in a law school in Karnataka, and how was he allowed to write the All India Bar Examination. And,
8. To pass such other orders that may be required to address the issues flagged above.

Thanking You,
Yours Sincerely,

(Adv. R. Sudha)
