Bangalore: Former Tamil Nadu chief minister and AIADMK chief J Jayalalithaa might get bail in the disproportionate assets case as the prosecution on Tuesday told Karnataka High Court that it had no objections to conditional bail to the Tamil leader.
Neither Jayalalithaa, nor any of the other three convicts in the case were present at the court during the hearing.
Celebrations have already begun in Chennai, even as the court is yet to announce its verdict on the bail plea.
All eyes have been on the Karnataka HC after Jayalalithaa filed her bail application and sought stay on the court's conviction. Valiant protests have been taking place around Tamil Nadu against the leader's arrest. Heavy security is in place in and around the Bangalore central jail in view of the bail plea hearing.
AIADMK had allegedly also put up posters threatening to hold Kannadigas residing in Tamil Nadu hostage if Jayalalithaa did not get bail on Tuesday.
Jayalalithaa has been jailed since September 27 after a special court in Bangalore sentenced her to four years in jail under the Prevention of Corruption Act. She was also slapped a fine of Rs 100 crore in connection with the Rs 66.65 crore disproportionate assets case.
