All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam general secretary J Jayalalitha has many firsts to her credit. The actress-turned politician was the first woman chief minister of Tamil Nadu. But she is also the first chief minister to be declared guilty under the Prevention of Corruption Act. Jayalalitha and her erstwhile ministerial colleagues are accused of having allowed a seven-storeyed luxury hotel to come up in the hill station of Kodaikanal in brazen violation of building laws applicable to such areas, which permit only two floors. On February 2, 2000, Special Judge V Radhakrishnan convicted and sentenced Jayalalitha and her four colleagues to one year's rigorous imprisonment for favouring the owner of the hotel in return for monetary considerations when she was ruling Tamil Nadu from 1991
