Karnataka Government files appeal against Jayalalitha’s acquittal, claims “arithmetical errors made the judgment illegal”

Live Law  

The Karnataka government filed a 2700 page petition on 23rd June saying that the Karnataka High Court’s judgment was a “farce”, and that “arithmetical errors made the judgment illegal”. The petition has also added that the judgment had resulted in “the miscarriage of justice” and should be quashed.It is to be noted that the Karnataka High Court had set aside the corruption. The total value of J Jayalalithaa’s assets disproportionate to her known sources of income was “within permissible limit” and therefore, she was “entitled to acquittal”, Justice C R Kumaraswamy of the Karnataka High Court had said. The judge had added: “Jaya Publications’ activities are Printing text books, Publishing, Real Estate and Namadhu MGR – newspapers, in my view, a sum of Rs 4,00,00,000/- has to be taken as an income earned by Jaya Publications.” Not only this, Justice Kumaraswamy had said that the trial court judge Michael D’cunha had miscalculated Jayalalitha’s assets.
