New Delhi: The Supreme Court Monday dismissed a plea by S. Nalini Srikaran, undergoing life imprisonment in the Rajiv Gandhi killing, who had challenged a provision in the law that mandates the state government take prior consent of the centre before remitting the sentence of a convict whose offence was investigated by the CBI.

"Sorry, we are not interested," the bench of Chief Justice H.L. Dattu, Justice Madan B. Lokur and Justice A.K. Sikri said as it declined Nalini's plea.
