The Supreme Court, setting aside the Karnataka High Court order, and upholding the trial court conviction of Jaya and Sasikala, is a huge victory for the forces who have been waging a war against corruption, particularly politicians. It has been a 20-year wait for the case to come an end with the SC verdict today, and it it is to the everlasting credit of trial court judge Counha, prosecutor B V Acharya and even the DMK to continue the struggle.

The Supreme Court judges have to find Jayalalithaa guilty in this case and convict her, and only then can they go on to Sasikala, Ilavarasi and V N Sudhagaran, the other three accused in the case.
