The Supreme Court ruled that minor lapses in disclosing income or assets should not automatically void election results unless they significantly impact the outcome. The judgment came while dismissing an appeal against Telangana MLA Kova Laxmi.
The Karnataka High Court rejected the appeal by J. Deepak and J. Deepa, heirs of J. Jayalalithaa, for the release of seized assets related to her disproportionate assets case. The court upheld the trial court’s confiscation order, stating the heirs must adhere to previous court findings and emphasized the potential of creating a foundation in Jayalalithaa’s honor.
