The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to conduct day-to-day hearing on appeals filed against the Karnataka High Court judgement acquitting Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa and three others in a disproportionate assets case.
A bench, comprising justices PC Ghose and RK Agrawal, which while admitting the appeals in July this year had not gone into the issue of staying the high court order, asked the parties concerned to give it the list of issues, which as per them, needed to be decided in the case on January 8.
"Both of you (parties) settle among yourselves and give us the issues need to be decided by us, so that it can be heard quickly and disposed of at the earliest," the bench said, adding it would hear the matter on "day-to-day basis".
The bench said the preliminary issues, which need to be decided, be given to it soon.
On July 27, the apex court had issued notices on Karnataka Government's appeal seeking stay of the high court judgement, to Jayalalithaa, her close aide Sasikala and two of herrelatives, VN Sudhakaran and Elavarasi, and asked them to file their replies within eight weeks.
