AIADMK general secretary Jayalalithaa approached the Karnataka High Court with “unclean hands” with the “false” claim that the Income Tax authorities had “accepted” her statements of income to be “true and genuine,” BJP leader Subramanian Swamy has stated in his written arguments submitted to the Court on Wednesday.

“This is not only false, but it is knowingly false since Income Tax authorities have not made and cannot make any such admission under Section 279 or any other section of the I-T Act,” contended Dr. Swamy.

Compounding of the offence of non-filing of Income Tax returns after she paid the tax dues and penalty does not in any way represent a legal vindication of any claims of Ms. Jayalalithaa on how the income she claimed was earned, and there can’t be escape from prosecution under the Prevention of Corruption Act, he has stated.
