Assets case: charges sent for fresh translation

January 07, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 08:00 am IST - Bengaluru:

The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday sent the three charges, framed originally in Tamil against AIADMK general secretary Jayalalithaa and others in the disproportionate assets case, to the Directorate of Translations, Government of Karnataka for translating them into English.

Justice C.R. Kumaraswamy issued the direction after counsel for Ms. Jayalalithaa argued that the translation of charges from Tamil to English was not done properly before the trial court. The High Court directed the Directorate of Translation to translate the charges into English and submit the translated version to the court by January 13.

The court was hearing the appeals filed by Ms. Jayalalithaa and three others questioning their conviction in the Rs. 53.6 crore disproportionate assets case.

Meanwhile, DMK leader K. Anbazhagan on Tuesday filed a petition in the registry of the High Court seeking direction to the Karnataka government to remove Special Public Prosecutor (SPP) G. Bhavani Singh in the case by making some allegations against the latter.
