NEW DELHI, June 23 : Karnataka government on Tuesday challenged in Supreme Court the state High Court's verdict acquitting J Jayalalithaa in a disproportionate assets case that cleared the decks for the AIADMK supremo to return as the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister.
The appeal against the May 11 verdict also soughts setting aside of the acquittal of Jayalalithaa's close aide Sasikala and two of her relatives, V N Sudhakaran and Elavarasi, on the grounds that Karnataka's prosecuting agency was not made a party by them before the High court.     ?PTI
