Views: Jayalalitha returns back as the Chief minister of the Tamil Nadu. The punishment of the trial court is set aside by the High Court. For several months ,all developmental works in Tamil Nadu were in a very low phase . As per the newspaper reports, governance is just a name sake. The worry and anxious of the Tamil Nadu people are turned into joy and hope. Several people committed suicide when Jayalalitha went to jail. People died with heart broke . More than 200 people lost their life .The state nose drived into a depressive mood. Another leader of Tamilnadu , Kanunanidhi says he will go to Supreme Court against the judgement of High Court. If Supreme court set aside the judgement of the High Court , then what about the governance of Tamil Nadu. Collapsed again? Conviction , Acquittal , again Conviction -all are the prerogative of the Judiciary. It is mostly a matter of subjectivity and the interpretation of the law . Each time , the life of the people affects . They also deserve a stable governance . Their agony and pain should be considered when implementing the Punishment. A new legal system is needed for addressing this issue. Freezing the punishment for a certain period can be considered to overcome difficult situation like this . The lawmakers should find out a solution . It will not happen again in any state.

Jayalalitha: India court clears ex-Tamil Nadu leader of corruption ( BBC News)

An appeals court in India has cleared former chief minister of the southern state of Tamil Nadu Jayaram Jayalalitha of involvement in a corruption scandal.
Ms Jayalalitha was convicted and sentenced for four years by a trial court in September.She was found guilty of amassing unaccounted-for wealth of more than $10m (£6.4m) and had to quit as the chief minister.
Monday's ruling means she can return as the head of Tamil Nadu government.
Jayalalitha, a former actress, is one of India's most controversial and colourful politicians. She has been a leading figure in south Indian politics for three decades.
"Truth and justice have prevailed," Ms Jayalalitha said in a statement after the court order.
"I am immensely satisfied, the verdict has paved the way for me to emerge as tested pure gold," she added.
As soon as the high court in the southern state of Karnataka announced its verdict on Monday morning, Ms Jayalalitha's supporters began celebrating outside the court in Bangalore.
Jayalalitha: Mercurial personality
- Former actress who appeared in more than 100 films
- Chief minister of Tamil Nadu on four occasions - from 1991-96, briefly in 2011, 2002-06 and 2011-14
- Has alternated in power with her great rival, 90-year-old DMK party leader M Karunanidhi
- Feted by various Indian prime ministers over the last 20 years trying to win her support
- Critics accuse her of establishing a personality cult, but supporters praise her poverty relief efforts
- Known for her extravagant lifestyle - police once discovered more than 10,000 saris and 750 pairs of shoes in a raid on her premises
The high court also cleared three of her aides who were also convicted by the trial court.
The details of Monday's judgment are not yet available. Reports from the courtroom said the judge took "10 seconds" to deliver the verdict.
The conviction last September had cut short her fourth term as the chief minister of Tamil Nadu and she had picked party leader and loyalist O Panneerselvam as her replacement.
Many Indians have taken to social media to criticise Monday's order and #JayaVerdict is the top Twitter trend in the country:
