| Jayalalithaa to attend hearing |
| Jayalalithaa to attend hearing on Nov 22 for corruption case

| Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa will appear before a Bangalore court on November 22 in connection with a disproportionate assets case against her. The AIADMK chief had attended two days of court hearings in the same court last month.
On October 21, the court had adjourned the hearing in the case to November 8, as recording of Jayalalithaa's statement on 1,000-odd questions framed in the case had remained inconclusive.
But the Chief Minister did not appear in court today. Instead, she moved an application before the court seeking postponing of the hearing.
Asking to be excused from the November 8 hearing, Jayalalithaa had appealed in the Supreme Court saying she did not want to inconvenience the people of Bangalore. She had asked for permission to answer questions from the judge in writing.
The Supreme Court, however, turned down her appeal, but said she should be given a date of her choice.
While Jayalalithaa gave today's hearing a miss, her close aide, Sasikala, who has also been named in the case, attended the proceedings.
Jayalalithaa was forced to attend two days of court hearings in Bangalore last month, after the Supreme Court over-ruled her concerns about her security. Around 1500 policemen, National Security Guard (NSG) commandos and a convoy of 20 cars escorted the Chief Minister along a 60-km route from the HAL airport to Bangalore's Central Prison.
The trial court had framed 1,339 questions in the case for Jayalalithaa. She had replied to 567 questions on her last appearances before the court on October 20 and 21.
The Supreme Court judges have said that the Bangalore court must finish its questioning of the Chief Minister at her next appearance.
