The Madras High Court on Friday asked petitioner Krishnamurthy to submit documents to prove that he is late Tamil Nadu chief minister J. Jayalalithaa's son.
The High Court directed the state police to submit report in this regard by March 24.
Krishnamurthy moved the court, saying he was born to Jayalalithaa and the late Telugu actor Shoban Babu.
He submitted a bunch of documents, including a 'deed of adoption', and sought the court's help to declare him as her son and hence entitled to her properties, including the famous Poes Garden residence.
He also sought a direction to the Director General of Police to provide him security, as he feared threats from the family of Jayalalitihaa's aide and AIADMK general secretary V. K. Sasikala.
