The Madras High Court Friday acquitted a man sentenced to six months rigorous imprisonment by a lower court for allegedly damaging late Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa's photograph in the city corporation in 2001.

The makers of Vijay starrer 'Sarkar' have agreed to remove "objectionable" scenes and "mute" an apparent reference to late J Jayalalithaa, an industry body said Thursday, as the movie faced a backlash from the ruling AIADMK over depiction of its welfare schemes and its leader.

DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi -- five-time Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu who dominated the state's politics for six decades along with arch-rivals MG Ramachandran and later, J Jayalalithaa -- died at a hospital in Chennai this evening.

In a setback to jailed leader VK Sasikala and her nephew TTV Dhinakaran, the unified AIADMK under O Panneerselvam (OPS) and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister E Palaniswami (EPS) has been recognized as the "real" party and granted use of the two-leaves symbol by the Election Commission, sources said today.

The Election Commission said on Friday that it had accepted the left thumb impression of former chief minister Jayalalithaa affixed on documents relating to a bypoll last year based on a letter by AIADMK presidium chairman E Madhusudhanan.

J Jayalalithaa was drowsy and had difficulty breathing, but could speak when she was brought to Chennai's Apollo hospital on September 22 last year, says the first medical report that was filed that day and has now been accessed by local media. The report noted that the then Tamil Nadu Chief Minister possibly had pneumonia and that her blood pressu...

Days after a Madras High Court judge indicated that he may order exhumation of former Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa's body, Union minister M Venkaiah Naidu today said he was not in favour of it.

Weeks after J Jayalalithaa's death in Chennai, the Madras High Court has raised doubts and asked why her body cannot be exhumed. "Media has raised a lot of doubts, personally I also have doubts in Jayalalithaa's death," said judge S Vaidyanathan on a petition asking for an investigation into what he calls the "mysterious death" of the former chief ...

J Jayalalithaa's death has impelled the emergence of new leadership not only in her party, the AIADMK, but also in arch rival DMK, as a new year begins. Both parties are prepping for meetings of their decision-making bodies, the general councils, in the next one week - the AIADMK to find a successor to Ms Jayalalithaa, the DMK to likely elevate MK ...

Bombay High Court was surprised by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's contention that it could not convene a meeting on December 8 due to AIADMK leader J Jayalalithaa's death in Chennai. A stunned court then questioned the BMC counsel if all the corporators went to Tamil Nadu to mourn. The general body was to meet to grant approval for the se...

There is no dearth of evidence of how effectively and quickly Sasikala Natarajan assumed the centre stage of Tamil Nadu's ruling party as its chief, J Jayalalithaa, deteriorated from a cardiac arrest towards her death on Monday evening. Most telling was the pride of place that was given to Ms Natarajan as she stood by Ms Jayalalithaa's body to rece...

J Jayalalithaa, one of the most powerful and popular leaders in the country, died on Monday after a massive cardiac arrest. She was buried in a sandalwood casket next to the memorial of her mentor, MG Ramachandran or MGR at Chennai's Marina Beach with full state honours. Thousands lined the route as Ms Jayalalithaa's body was taken to Marina Beach ...

Prime Minister Narendra Modi hugged new Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Panneerselvam as the latter wept inconsolably when the Prime Minister visited Chennai's Rajaji Hall, a large public auditorium where J Jayalalithaa's body was placed for people to pay their respects before she was burried at Chennai's Marina beach near her political mentor MGR.

An inconsolable Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Panneerselvam hugged Narendra Modi emotionally on a couple of occasions as the Prime Minister approached the casket containing Jayalalithaa's body to pay his last respects.
