Orders reserved on Jaya's petition in Tansi case

The Madras High Court Tuesday reserved orders on the petition filed by former Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalitha seeking a stay of her conviction in the Tansi land deal cases to enable her to contest the May 10 elections to the state assembly.

Justice Malai Subramaniam reserved his orders after hearing arguments from counsel for Jayalalitha and the Tamil Nadu police on the petition.

Jayalalitha's October 9 conviction by Special Judge P Anbazhagan and sentence of prison terms of two years and three years respectively, involving the purchase of lands belonging to the state-owned Tamil Nadu Small Industries Corporation, effectively bars her from contesting the poll under the Representation of the People Act.
