Karnataka government had, in its appeal against the May11 verdict, taken the ground that the state government's prosecuting agency was not made a party before the High court.'The petition had also claimed that the High Court erred in computing the disproportionate assets of the AIADMK leader.'<br/><br/>The special court had last year held Jayalalithaa guilty of corruption and sentenced her to four years imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 100 crore.
