CHENNAI: The first bench of the Madras High Court on Thursday dismissed a PIL praying for a direction to TN government and the management of Apollo Hospitals to make public the real health condition of Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa.

Mahadevan dismissed the PIL of Activist Traffic KR Ramaswamy, at the outset. Earlier the Madras High Court had directed the Additional Advocate-General to obtain instructions from the authorities on the issue and to inform the court on the CM's health. A division bench had given the direction asserting that it is the duty of the bench to provide the status of the CM's health. Meanhwile, the PIL had also requested for an interim Chief Minister, if the CM needed prolonged stay at the hospital. The Tamil Nadu CM has been undergoing treatment since September 22 under close observation by a team of doctors.
