The D Day turned out to be the happiest day for former CM of Tamil Nadu, Jayalalitha and her followers. The Karnataka High court has delivered a historical judgement in Jayalalitha's case and which may lead to change of political scenario of Tamil Nadu.

Jayalalitha and all other accused such as Shashikala, Sudhakaran and Ilavarasi have been acquitted by the court. The court set aside trial court's verdict in Jayalalitha's case. Excited by the verdict of High Court, Jayalalitha's fans across Tamil Nadu went on jubilant and are jumping with joy distributing sweets. Jayalalitha is likely to be back as a Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Maybe she will swear in a day or two as a CM.
