Jayalalithaa Judgement

Nearly two months after the death of J Jayalalithaa, a Supreme Court judgement has used sharp words while indicting the former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister for corruption. Even though the case against her stands abated after her death, the court made searing observations on Jayalalithaa - Accused No 1 in the case.

It took eight minutes for two Supreme Court judges to announce the decision that abruptly cut short the political career of VK Sasikala, a long-time companion of J Jayalalithaa. The judges concurred when they held Ms Sasikala guilty of corruption and decided that she has to go to back to jail to serve a four-year sentence. "We have expressed deep c...

VK Sasikala has been found guilty of corruption by the Supreme Court and will have to surrender to the police in Chennai so that she can be jailed for four years.

The outrageous judgement of a single bench of the Madras High Court in granting bail to the convicted rapist of a 15-year-old girl and referring the matter to a "mediation centre" set up under the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Mechanism constitutes a new low in judicial pronouncements in cases of sexual assault.

Even as AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa returned to power today, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said the state law department is examining the judgement of the High Court which acquitted her of all charges and the government would take a decision on filing an appeal in the case after receiving the report.

A closer scrutiny by NDTV of the judgement has revealed glaring inconsistencies in the court's assessment of the former chief minister's income and assets.

J Jayalalithaa, former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, is at her Poes Garden residence in Chennai, where hundreds of supporters are now celebrating with news coming in of her acquittal by the Karnataka High Court in a conviction in a corruption case.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa today left for Bangalore to appear in a Special Court which would pronounce judgement in the 18-year-old Rs 66.65 crore disproportionate assets case against her, which will have huge ramifications on the state polity and her government.
