New Delhi: Jailed former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, denied bail by Karnataka High Court following her conviction and four year sentence in a graft case, on Thursday moved the Supreme Court for bail.

The AIADMK chief, who has been behind bars for the last 12 days, challenged the High Court order which had refused her bail plea. She urged the apex court to grant an urgent hearing on her plea on Friday during the mentioning hour.

She said as Chief Minister she did not misuse her powers in this case.

The former Chief Minister also cited grounds of being senior citizen and woman for getting out of jail.
