Special Public Prosecutor BV Acharya on Thursday recommended to the Karnataka government to file an appeal in the Supreme Court against the Karnataka High Court’s verdict to acquit AIADMK general secretary Jayalalithaa and three others in a disproportionate assets (DA) case. “I have given my opinion to the State government after going through the High Court’s verdict. I have said that it is fit to appeal to the apex court,” Acharya said while refusing to divulge the details of his legal opinion, in which he has analysed the 919-page verdict. The High Court on May 11 had acquitted all the four for lack of evidence to establish that they had possessed DA of ₹53.6 crore as held by a special court, which in its September 27, 2014 verdict had convicted and sentenced them to four years’ imprisonment.
