The Madras High Court on Tuesday instructed the concerned officials of Tamil Nadu to inform it about Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa's health by tomorrow.
A petition was filed by an activist named T. Ramasamy to prevent rumours spreading about her health.
The PIL sought a direction to the state principal secretary, Governor, chief secretary, home secretary, Apollo Hospitals and others to file a health status report along with photographs in the court.
The Apollo Hospital where Jayalalithaa is currently being treated yesterday said that she was recovering fast and continued to improve and was responding adequately to the comprehensive treatment being given to her.
A statement from the hospital said, "The Honourable Chief Minister of Tamil, who is undergoing treatment at Apollo Hospital, Greams Road, continues to improve."
