Plea against Jayalalithaa

NEW DELHI, AUG. 3. Immediately after a Supreme Court ruling that convicted public servants should not hold office till their names were cleared, a petition was filed today seeking an order from the court to restrain Ms. Jayalalithaa from functioning as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.

The petition filed by Mr. B.R. Kapur, who has also challenged the legality of Ms. Jayalalithaa's appointment as the Chief Minister, said that yesterday's judgment fully applied to her, who has been already convicted in two cases of corruption.
