"The Special Vacation Single Bench of Justice C R Kumaraswamy is constituted to sit in Court Hall No. 14 at 11:00 AM on Monday - the 11th May 2015 - for pronouncement of Judgment (in the appeals)," a high court notification said here tonight.
Special Court Judge John Michael D'Cunha had on September 27 last year held the AIADMK supremo and three others guilty of corruption and awarded four years jail term, due to which she attracted disqualification as an MLA.
Challenging this, the four had filed appeals in the high court where a special bench was set up on the directions of the Supreme Court while granting her bail on December 18 last. The apex court had directed the high court to decide the appeal within three months.
Justice Kumaraswamy, who heard the appeals, had reserved the order on March 11 after defence counsel filed their replies challenging written submissions made by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy, the original complainant in the case.
