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.
