SC rejects Sasikala's review plea in DA case

Trial court had convicted Sasikala along with Jayalalithaa, Sudhakaran, and Elavarasi in the case

The Supreme Court has dismissed a plea of jailed All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) leader V K Sasikala seeking review of its verdict convicting and sentencing her to a four-year jail term in a disproportionate assets case.

The apex court also rejected her plea for an open court hearing of the review petitions.

"We do not find any error in the common judgment impugned, much less an apparent error on the face of the record, so as to call for its review. The review petitions are, accordingly, dismissed," a bench of Justices S A Bobde and Amitava Roy.
