New Delhi: The trial of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa in a corruption case for owning disproportionate assets, currently going on before a court in Bangalore, will continue as Supreme Court Tuesday declined to entertain a plea seeking its deferment.
While allowing senior counsel V.Giri to withdraw the plea and approach the Karnataka High Court, a bench of Justice B.S.Chauhan and Justice A.K.Sikri also declined the plea by Lex Property Developer P.Ltd. seeking that the trial in the case should be deffered till its case was decided.
Senior counsel Ranjit Kumar appearing for the company urged the court to defer the trial in Jayalalithaa case as it had a bearing on his matter, which is being heard by the same special courtA in Bangalore.
