A one-sided affair: Acharya

The Hindu  

The proceedings before the Karnataka High Court hearing AIADMK general secretary Jayalalithaa’s appeal turned out to be a “one-sided affair” as the prosecuting State, Karnataka, was neither a party nor was it heard, said Special Public Prosecutor B.V. Acharya. “The entire appeal proceedings were conducted without making Karnataka State a party, though it was a necessary legal requirement,” he said. “Counsel for the accused were allowed to make oral arguments for nearly two months, but no prosecutor authorised by Karnataka was present during such arguments.” He pointed out that the apex court itself had declared the appointment of G. Bhavani Singh as SPP by Tamil Nadu illegal and asked the High Court to ignore his submissions. Mr. Acharya was appointed SPP for the appeal on April 28, 2015 after the Supreme Court, while declaring Mr. Singh’s appointment illegal, declared on April 27 that Karnataka, not Tamil Nadu, was the sole prosecuting agency.
