DA Case-Jayalalithaa bail plea & suspension of 4-year conviction: "Analysers and legal experts say there will be negative results tomorrow"

There is a short spell of silence prevails across the state as the magnanimous leader of the AIADMK party J Jayalalithaa is expecting her bail plea hearing in the Karnataka high court on Tuesday. Apart from this, suspension of her four-year sentence in an 18-year-old disproportionate assets case will also come up for hearing tomorrow.

What will be fate of these two cases? Though the millions of AIADMK cadres, functionaries and supporters have placed the ‘final decree’ to the court of the Almighty, sources expertised in legal analysis are certainly predicting that “There will be negative results tomorrow for Jayalalithaa.”
There are two possibilities, according to the analysers. One – the cases may be posted to a next date. Two – the bail plea may be dismissed, which force the counsels of Jayalalithaa to knock the doors of the Apex Court.
A lawyer from Madras High Court said, “The court will not grant bail to Jayalalithaa and others – N Sasikala, J Elavarasi and V N Sudhakaran arrested in the Rs66 crore disproportionate assets case – without issuing any interim stay in the conviction slapped on them.”

Karnataka state leaders have already conveyed their views to move the sensitive case either to Tamil Nadu or to the Supreme Court, as they have ‘done their job’ by convicting Jayalalithaa and three others in the DA case.
Even if the case is dismissed in Karnataka High Court, Jayalalithaa counsels cannot approach the Supreme Court immediately. It may take at least a week more to draft to file before the court. There are more chances of postponing the hearing by shifting the case to a double bench or triple bench hearing to receive least blame even if they give interim stay in the sensitive DA Case slapped on the four in 1996 when the DMK was in power in the state.
AIADMK workers are awaiting with bated breath as a Karnataka High Court is all set to hear the bail plea of party chief Jayalalithaa tomorrow even as protests continued in Tamil Nadu against her conviction in the disproportionate assets case.

AIADMK workers and Jayalalithaa supporters, including state ministers, MPs and MLAs continued their protests and fasts in various parts of the state for the release of Jayalalithaa, who is presently in Parappana Agrahara prison at Bangalore, after a Special Court there sentenced her to four years imprisonment in the case on September 27.
