Jayalalithaa at Bangalore for DA case verdict

Jayalalithaa, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu has left for Bangalore to appear in a Special Court which would pronounce judgement in the 18-year-old Rs 66.65 crore disproportionate assets case against her. The same will surely have huge ramifications on the state polity and her government.

The 65-year-old AIADMK left for Bangalore along with her close aide Sasikala Natarajan, another accused in the case, amid a great tension. The other accused in the case is Jayalalithaa's disowned foster son V N Sudhakaran.

Michael Dicunha , the Special Court Judge will be delivering the verdict by noon on Saturday at the makeshift court created at Bangalore central prison at Parappana Agrahara on the outskirts of Bangalore city, which has been provided with multi-layer security cover.

It is evident that the case was transferred to Bangalore's Special Court in 2003 by the Supreme Court on a petition filed by DMK leader K Anbazhagan who had expressed doubts over conduct of fair trail in Tamil Nadu as Jayalalithaa ruled the state then.
