vvvslaxman Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Even if she is disqualified from holding any office within the government and barred from contesting elections' date=' do you really think that she is going to just go away? She has already installed a puppet as her CM, who will only serve as a rubber stamp for decisions that she makes. This conviction only means she spends a few nights in a jail before she gets bail.[/quote'] Obviously replacement is only going to be a puppet. But she would not like to be one of those who pull strings from the backseat. She wants to pull strings directly. That is her driving force. I don't question the support she still has. But will she get a chance? People were fed up with MK and his family. Rightly so. So the timing was perfect for her even to think about being a PM let alone CM. But they clamped her down. This is a big blow to such ambitions. Let us see how the events unfold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeautifulGame Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 The Supreme Court had in July 2013 struck down Section 8(4) of the Representation of the People Act' date= 1951, which protected convicted MPs and MLAs from disqualification if they appeal before a higher court within three months. - The difference is that she is immediately disqualified from being an MLA The old law already banned anyone who got at least 2 year sentence from contesting in elections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on what grounds she can prove it wrong. She tried as far as she could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvvslaxman Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 http://www.indileak.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/n-srinivasan2.jpg Legal team aims to get sentence suspended, conviction stayed AIADMK general secretary Jayalalithaa’s lawyers will file an appeal on Monday against the special court verdict sentencing her to four-year simple imprisonment in a disproportionate assets case and also seek her release on bail. AIADMK Rajya Sabha Member A. Navaneethakrishnan told The Hindu that a bail application would be moved in the Karnataka High Court. However, since the High Court was on vacation, the application may be taken up by a vacation bench on Tuesday. Her lawyers held a marathon meeting here on Sunday preparing the grounds of appeal against the trial court order which disqualified Ms Jayalalithaa as an MLA and cost her the position of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister. The legal team discussed options to get the sentence suspended and the conviction stayed, party sources said. According to sources, senior Supreme Court advocate Ram Jethmalani is likely to join the defence team. Meanwhile, an advocate in the prosecution team said the State would oppose applications seeking stay on the sentence and conviction. “When a bail application is made, the High Court will order notices to the State. If they move an application seeking stay on conviction, the State will oppose it,†he said on condition of anonymity. Legal experts say a stay on the conviction is deemed necessary to get her disqualification suspended. While the Supreme Court has said in many cases that the appellate court has the power to suspend both the sentence and conviction, it laid down in 2001 that when a public servant has been convicted for corruption, the conviction should not be stayed during the pendency of an appeal.

Those who remember the 90s knows about her atrocities. Most of the public have forgotten/totally unaware of JJ's misdeeds. Only those who followed politics actively during 1991-96 remember these. As a result, she is getting a lot of sympathy, which she doesn't deserve a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 On the one hand, it is absolutely wonderful to see that there's enough teeth in the Indian judicial system to send a sitting Chief Minister, that too one considered at point in time to be potential PM material to Jail! This is fan-bleeding-tastic! On the other hand, I am actually sad that JJ's current tenure as CM of TN has been derailed by this. I have made this point before - She was absolutely HORRIBLE during her first tenure as CM b/w 91-96. But she was also extremely green then and mostly manipulated by older heads in ADMK. Her subsequent stings as CM of TN have been materially better. So it is kinda unfortunate to see her current term derailed by something she did nearly 20 years ago.

vvvslaxman Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 This punishment sets a precedence. An incumbent CM getting kicked out due to corruption albeit done years ago. Because they didn't punish her following government continued this charade without shred of fear. We have to start somewhere. We need a third party to rise in TN besides these two Dravidian parties.

Two people have been hospitalized with severe burns. Police said three people hanged themselves, one AIADMK supporter committed suicide by self-immolation, one person ended his life by jumping in front of a bus and one person died after consuming poison after the court pronounced its verdict. Ten others died of cardiac arrest, apparently due to shock after Jayalalithaa's conviction, a police officer said. 16 deaths attributed to Jaya's arrest. Another Bhakti movement down south.
