Jayalalithaa convicted in disproportionate assets case
Let us tell you that on January 13, the Karnataka High Court rejected a petition by Jayalalithaa’s nephew J Deepak and niece J Deepa, in which they claimed the property as Jayalalithaa’s legal heirs. Jayalalithaa was convicted in a disproportionate assets case.
Property should not be confiscated after death
The High Court had upheld the decision to confiscate Jayalalithaa’s property in 2016 despite the proceedings against her being over after her death. Her heirs had argued that Jayalalithaa’s property should not be confiscated after the case against her was over. However, the High Court ruled that the apex court has upheld the special court’s decision to convict the other accused, so confiscation of property is legal.
