If you've just joined us, here's the update on J Jayalalithaa's court apperance today.

The Supreme Court had yesterday rejected #Jayalalithaa's plea for postponing the hearing in the case against her by a few days and asked her to appear before the special court. 

She had also failed in her attempts to get the venue of the proceedings shifted closer to the Jakkur airport with both the apex court and the Special Court turning down her last minute plea.

The Special Court had also ordered her to be present. The Bangalore City Police have imposed prohibitory orders around the Parappana Agrahara jail from last evening. A tight security blanket has been thrown around the jail and also from the airport upto the prison.
