Karnataka strikes back: Moves SC against Jaya's acquittal

June 23, 2015 11:13

As expected, the the Karnataka government has moved the Supreme Court against Tamil Nadu CM J Jayalalithaa's acquittal in the corruption case.

The Karnataka government told the the Supreme Court today that Jayalalithaa, was wrongly found innocent in the corruption case and challenged her acquittal, describing it as a "farce."

Jayalalithaa returned to office as Chief Minister in May after she was found not guilty of amassing wealth that could not be accounted for by her declared sources of income during her first term as head of the state government in the early 90s.

The case had been transferred from Tamil Nadu to Karnataka in 2003 to ensure the trial would not be impacted by the influence of Jayalalithaa or her political opponents.
