K’taka Industries Minister meets US chip manufacturer AMD officials
M. B. Patil is on a 12-day tour in the US with senior officers of the Karnataka government.
The Supreme Court is likely to pronounce next week its verdict on the Karnataka government's plea challenging the acquittal of late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, her close aide V.K. Sasikala and others in a disproportionate assets case, by the state High Court.
The bench headed by Justice Pinaki Chandra Ghose said 'Wait till next week' – as senior counsel Dushyant Dave appearing for Karnataka said that the main accused has already passed away and another accused V K Sasikala is expected to become Chief Minister soon.
The top court had reserved its verdict on the Karnataka government's appeal a few months ago.
