Jayalalithaa approaches SC for relief after HC denies bail

  • 5 years ago
Jailed former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, who has been sentenced to four years imprisonment in a disproportionate assets case, failed to get bail from Karnataka High Court which told her that corruption amounts to "violation of human rights".

There "are no grounds" to give bail as corruption amounts to "violation of human rights" and leads to economic imbalance, observed Justice A V Chandrashekhara, who pronounced the order in a packed court room that came as a blow to Jayalalithaa and her supporters outside and elsewhere.

Indications are that the 66-year-old AIADMK chief may approach the Supreme Court for relief possibly by tomorrow. However, AIADMK MP and lawyer Navaneethakrishnan said they would have to take instructions from Jayalalitha.
