Supreme Court dismisses VK Sasikala's plea seeking review of her conviction in DA case

The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed plea filed by VK Sasikala seeking review of her conviction in disproportionate assets case.

The Supreme Court upheld her conviction in a corruption case.

The two-judge bench comprising Justices P C Ghose and Amitava Roy had directed Sasikala and the two relatives to surrender forthwith to the trial court in Bengaluru and serve the remaining part of four-year jail term.

The verdict had also disqualified Sasikala from becoming a legislator and consequentially she can't be chief minister either for six years from the date of release of prison under the Representation of the People Act.
