"Yesterday, we received an application from Sasikala, urging us to release her on a 15-day parole. She has said that her husband is unwell and admitted in a hospital in Chennai.
Our legal cell is considering the plea," Parappana Agrahara Prison Superintendent PS Ramesh said.
Sasikala's (60) husband M Natarajan (74) is admitted in the liver intensive care unit of a corporate hospital since last month following a kidney and liver failure.
He is awaiting a deceased donor liver transplantation and a kidney transplantation, according to doctors.
Sasikala is in jail here since February after the Supreme Court upheld her conviction by a special court in a disproportionate assets case.
Along with Sasikala, her relatives Ilavarasi and VN Sudhakaran are also serving a four-year jail term.
Sasikala's nephew and sidelined AIADMK leader TTV Dinakaran had also said in Chennai yesterday that she had applied for a 15-day parole to meet her ailing husband.
