J Jayalalithaa Da Case

VK Sasikala, on the verge of a four-year jail term for corruption, made big moves today to secure her hold over Tamil Nadu's ruling party. Two of her relatives expelled by former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa are back in the AIADMK. Among them is former lawmaker TTV Dinakaran, whose brother Sudhakaran was convicted and sentenced to jail along with...

Nearly two months after the death of J Jayalalithaa, a Supreme Court judgement has used sharp words while indicting the former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister for corruption. Even though the case against her stands abated after her death, the court made searing observations on Jayalalithaa - Accused No 1 in the case.

Within hours of being found guilty of corruption, VK Sasikala stepped on the gas to name a new leader for her party, the AIADMK. Edappadi K Palaniswami, 57, who is Minister of the Public Works Department, is the new chief of the ruling party of Tamil Nadu. He has written to Governor C Vidyasagar Rao asking for the chance to prove his majority in t...

The corruption case in which VK Sasikala has been convicted today was, in fact, centered on whether J Jayalalithaa misused her first term as Chief Minister in the 1990s to accumulate a vast fortune of real estate, cash and jewellery through a maze of companies which were owned by Ms Sasikala and two of her male relatives.

AIADMK general secretary VK Sasikala has been ordered to serve a four-year jail term in a 21-year-old disproportionate assets case by the Supreme Court, ending her wait for an invitation from Tamil Nadu's Raj Bhavan to take over as the chief minister. She will, instead, go to jail. The court did not rule on charges against former chief minister J J...

The Supreme Court bench of Justices PC Ghosh and Amitava Roy, concurrently, held AIADMK general secretary VK Sasikala guilty of helping former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa amass illicit wealth worth over 60 crores in the 1990s and has sentenced her to four years imprisonment.

It took eight minutes for two Supreme Court judges to announce the decision that abruptly cut short the political career of VK Sasikala, a long-time companion of J Jayalalithaa. The judges concurred when they held Ms Sasikala guilty of corruption and decided that she has to go to back to jail to serve a four-year sentence. "We have expressed deep c...

VK Sasikala has been found guilty of corruption by the Supreme Court and will have to surrender to the police in Chennai so that she can be jailed for four years. This ends her high-decibel and divisive bid to be Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu - she is now barred from contesting an election for the next ten years. At 10:30 am on Tuesday, two judges o...

In a rare public appearance this morning, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalitha was present at a function to officially rename Chennai's Adyar IV Main Road, to B Ramachandra Adithanar, in a bid to woo the Nadar community ahead of the state assembly elections next year.

Days after securing a thumping victory in the RK Nagar bypoll, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa today took oath as MLA.

J Jayalalithaa, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, was wrongly found innocent in a corruption case, the Karnataka government said today in the Supreme Court, where it has challenged her acquittal, describing it as a "farce."

The Karnataka government is sending over a bill of more than Rs. 5.11 crore to neighbour Tamil Nadu soon. This is just the expenses of their law department that has been spent on conducting the trial of Chief Minister, J Jayalalithaa, and three others in a corruption case over the last 12 years.

J Jayalalithaa drove out of her Poes Garden residence today, hands folded in greeting as her car travelled slowly down a road lined by crowds of adoring fans who flashed the V sign for victory and showered flower petals on her vehicle.

J Jayalalithaa is likely to take office as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on Saturday. Sources say the oath ceremony is likely be a simple affair - the Raj Bhavan, the official residence of the Governor, and the auditorium of the Madras University in Chennai are being considered as options for the venue.

For the first time since she was acquitted in a corruption case, J Jayalalithaa will appear in public on Friday in Chennai.
