The Supreme Court on Monday sought the replies of the Tamil Nadu government and state Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa's estranged aide V K Sasikala to a plea by Dravida Munetra Kazhagam leader, seeking his impleadment in a case against the two for allegedly owning assets exceeding their legal incomes.
The apex court is expected to take up the application on May 8 along with the main case. A Bench of Justices Arijit Pasayat and L S Panta had earlier stayed the implementation of the 27 per cent reservation benefits for OBCs.
