Chennai: The Madras High Court on Tuesday directed Tamil Nadu's Additional Advocate General to get instructions from the government on Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa's health.
Jayalalithaa was admitted to Apollo Hospitals on September 22 for fever and dehydration. The hospital on Monday said she continues to improve and must remain warded for some more days because of infection.
Social activist Traffic Ramaswamy filed a public interest litigation (PIL) in the Madras High Court seeking the real status of Jayalalithaa's health.
The court also observed that people were anxious to know about the Chief Minister's health.
Traffic Ramaswamy sought to know whether Jayalalithaa was in sound health to take important decisions and hold meetings of officials and ministers.
