<p> It looks like both the Congress and BJP have no stand when it comes to pursuing the Jayalalitha case in the Supreme Court. <br /><br /></p>.<p>Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee’s Legal and Human Rights Cell on Tuesday kept wondering as to why the BJP is not making its stand clear on filing an appeal in the apex court. The BJP said that it is neither for or against filing an appeal. <br /><br /> Congress Legal Cell Chairman C M Dhananjay told reporters, “It looks like the BJP wants to politicise the issue once the Siddaramaiah government takes a decision on whether to file an appeal in the apex court or not against Jayalalitha’s acquittal.” “Instead of setting deadlines for the government to file an appeal, BJP leader Subramanian Swamy should go ahead and file one,” Dhananjay said. <br /><br />Asked about the cell’s stand on the issue, Dhananjay said the government was not a party to the entire legal proceedings and had no role to play. <br /><br />BJP State president Pralhad Joshi, when contacted by this paper, played it with a straight bat, saying the government must study the judgement and take an appropriate decision. <br /><br />Meanwhile, senior Congress leader M V Rajashekaran has sought the government to refrain from filing an appeal in the Supreme Court challenging the acquittal of Jayalalitha.<br /><br />In a letter to Siddaramaiah, Rajashekaran said it would help in strengthening relationship between the two states.<br /><br /></p>
