Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain a special leave petition seeking initiation of probe into the allegations levelled by B.V. Acharya, former Karnataka Special Public Prosecutor in his autobiography that he was pressurised during the trial of the Rs 66 crore disproportionate assets case involving the former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, Sasikala, Ilavarasi and Sudhagaran. A Bench of Justices Pinaki Chandra Ghose and Rohinton Nariman dismissed as 'no merits' the SLP against a Karnataka High Court order rejecting a similar plea. The petitioner M. Rathinam had filed a writ petition in the Karnataka High Court for a probe into the serious allegations of senior advocate Mr. Acharya that there was tremendous pressure on him from Ms. Jayalalithaa and TN government during the trial. He said the High Court had not gone into the merits of the allegations which warrant a detailed probe.
