Some relief

The Supreme Court’s grant of bail to Ms. Jayalalithaa (“ >Jayalalithaa back home ,” Oct. 19) has provided a window of opportunity to her to prove her innocence. More importantly, her return to Chennai will restore much-needed stability to governance. It is imperative that the AIADMK leader becomes the bridge between the party and the government. Her rich experience in governance will provide vital political guidance to Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam.

The granting of bail to Ms. Jayalalithaa shows the loopholes in our judicial system which are exploited in cases that involve those who are high profile. When even 18 years was insufficient and could not prepare and help her case, how can paperwork of any sort now save her within the deadline stipulated?

The submission by Ms. Jayalalitha’s counsel that “this is a case in which the entire country has some considerations” needs elaboration. Though he has withdrawn the submission, can he or someone throw light on what these “considerations” are?
