Supreme Court grants bail to Jayalalithaa for DA convict case

New Delhi: The Supreme Court has granted bail to former Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa’s. This was the last chance for Jayalalithaa to get a bail before Diwali as the apex court will go on leave for a week after Friday.
Jayalalithaa had moved the Supreme Court seeking bail after the Karnataka High Court had rejected her bail plea following her conviction in the disproportionate assets case.
The AIADMK chief, who has been behind the bars since September 27, has challenged the High Court order which had refused her bail. Jayalalithaa had pleaded that she is also suffering from various ailments as grounds for her immediate relief.
