The Supreme Court will on Monday resume hearing in the 18-year-old disproportionate assets case against former Tamil Nadu chief minister Jayalalithaa.

DMK leader K Anbazhagan had recently filed a petition seeking removal of the Special Public Prosecutor from appearing in the appeal filed before the high court in the DA case against Jayalaithaa.

On October 17, the apex court had granted conditional bail to Jayalalithaa who was sent to jail by a trial court on September 27.

The 66-year-old Jayalalithaa, who had moved the Supreme Court for bail on October 9 after being denied by the Karnataka High Court, had submitted that she had been sentenced to only four years jail and was suffering from various ailments as grounds for immediate relief.

The Special Court had held Jayalalithaa and three others guilty of corruption. The court had also slapped a fine of Rs. 100 crore on the AIADMK chief and Rs. 10 crore fine on each of the three other convicts.
