The Karnataka Government on Tuesday moved the Supreme Court seeking a review of its verdict by which it had abated the proceedings in the disproportionate assets case against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister late J Jayalalithaa.
The State Government has said that once the proceedings were abated, it will not be possible to recover the fine of Rs 100 crore imposed on the late leader which was part of the punishment awarded to her in the case.
The apex court had on February 14 convicted current AIADMK chief V K Sasikala and two others in the case while abating the proceedings against Jayalalithaa as she had died. The court had, however, made clear that the fine imposed on her can be recovered.
The apex court had upheld the special trial court verdict which had found disproportionate assets worth `53.60 crore, which Jayalalithaa and the three others could not account for.
