Advocate Kiran S Javali has been appointed by the Karnataka Government's Law Department as the Special Public Prosecutor (SPP) for the sale of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa's confiscated movable properties, in relation to the disproportionate assets case against her. The notification for the appointment was issued on March 27, making it official. The Supreme Court transferred the 1996 disproportionate assets case to Karnataka from Tamil Nadu in 2003, which ultimately led to her conviction by a special court for CBI cases in 2014. Since then, Ms Jayalalithaa's assets, including seven kilograms of gold and diamond ornaments, 600 kilograms of silver ornaments, over 11,000 sarees, 750 footwear, 91 watches, 131 suitcases, 1,040 video cassettes, electrical goods, air-conditioners, refrigerators, and other pieces of clothing, have been in the custody of the Karnataka Government.
