CHENNAI: One of the following three
scenarios would unfold at 11am on
Monday, when Justice C R
Kumaraswamy reads out the verdict
in the criminal appeals filed by ex-
chief minister of Tamil Nadu J
Jayalalithaa and her three
associates.

One: Jayalalithaa earns a clean
acquittal as the single judge
overturns the 1,306-page judgment
of special judge John Michael Cunha
lock, stock and barrel. This is
possible only if Justice Kumaraswamy
is in full agreement with the
explanations offered by Jayalalithaa's
legal team for her long list of assets,
income and means by which they
were accumulated.
