Approach SC in Jayalalithaa case: SPP recommends State

The Hindu  

Special Public Prosecutor B.V. Acharya on Thursday recommended to the Government of Karnataka to file an appeal in the Supreme Court against the Karnataka High Court’s verdict of acquitting AIADMK general secretary Jayalalithaa and three others in the disproportionate assets case. I have said that it is fit to appeal to the apex court,” said Mr. Acharya, while refusing to divulge details of his legal opinion in which he has analysed the 919-page verdict. In response to a query on ‘the “glaring arithmetical error” committed by the High Court in its verdict, Mr. Acharya said the judge, who delivered the verdict, can’t “alter or review” the verdict in view of the bar imposed under Section 362 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. “The High Court, going by the facts of this case, cannot have a relook into the verdict in the DA case,” Mr. Acharya said when asked about possibilities of High Court correcting the “error” in computing loans, obtained by Ms. Jayalalithaa, her three aides, and their firms, from the nationalised banks that the High Court had treated as their “income”.
