    CASE BRIEFING-11

    CASE NAME AND CASE LAW:


    State of Karnataka vs Selvi J. Jayalalitha [Criminal Appeal Nos.
    304-307 of 2017]
    FACTS:
    Jayalalitha was accused of allegedly accumulating pecuniary
    resources worth approximately 66 crores during her tenure as CM
    between 1991 to 1996. There were more than 32 shell companies
    in the name of VK Sasikala, a close confidante of Jayalalitha and
    her two relatives. These companies did not conduct any business
    but acquired several assests especially in real state without
    paying taxes on these acquisition.
    ISSUE:
    The issue was related to the misuse of public office and
    disproportionate assets.
    JUDGEMENT:
    The Supreme Court on 14 February, 2017 held that the wealth in
    circulation, beyond reasonable doubt, belonged to Jayalalitha.
    Sasikala and two accused were held guilty of collective
    involvement in conspiracy to launder the ill-gotten wealth of the
    former CM. The SC restored the conviction and sentence against
    them. As Jayalalitha was dead before judgement, so the fine was
    imposed on her to be recovered from her properties.
