there's 552 more of them
The judgment does not have 552 more paragraphs after this excerpt. In the official Supreme Court PDF, the main opinion ends at paragraph 543 and a short supplement runs only to paragraph 8.
Full reasoning
The post claims that after the paragraph shown in the image, there are 552 more similar paragraphs to come.
But in the official Supreme Court of India PDF for State of Karnataka v. Selvi J. Jayalalitha & Ors.:
- the quoted passage appears at paragraph 129 (immediately before paragraph 130), and
- the main opinion ends at paragraph 543,
- followed by a separate short supplementary opinion that runs only from paragraph 1 to paragraph 8.
So there are not 552 additional paragraphs after the excerpt. Counting from paragraph 129, there are 414 later numbered paragraphs in the main opinion (130 through 543), plus 8 paragraphs in the supplement, for about 422 additional numbered paragraphs total.
Even if someone treated the screenshot as being around paragraph 130, the number would still be about 421, not 552. The numeric claim in the post is therefore incorrect.
