The Apex court had stayed by eight weeks the Madras High Court exercise to ascertain the authenticity of Jayalalithaa's left thumb impression found on AIADMK candidate AK Bose's nomination papers.
Saravanan who contested against the AIADMK in the Thiruparankundram bypoll filed the case in the High court questioning the authenticity of Ms. Jayalalithaa's thumb impression, stating that she had been hospitalised and unconscious while the fingerprints were taken.
"Prison officials of the Parappana Agrahara prison who appeared before the Madras HC and submitted a soft copy of Jayalalithaa's thumb impression obtained through biometric scanner when she was lodged in that jail," Saravanan told reporters here on Saturday.
