Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has appealed to the Karnataka High Court challenging a single judge’s order that upheld the Governor’s sanction for his prosecution in the MUDA scam case. The appeal seeks to overturn the order, with the case yet to be scheduled for hearing in court.
Karnataka: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has moved the Karnataka High Court in appeal, challenging the single judge’s order that upheld the sanction granted by Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot for his prosecution in connection with the Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) scam.
Siddaramaiah’s appeal, filed on October 23, seeks to quash the order passed by Justice M Nagaprasanna on September 24. The Chief Minister has named the Governor’s office and complainants TJ Abraham, Snehamayi Krishna, and SP Pradeep Kumar as respondents in the case.

Though the appeal has been numbered, it has yet to be scheduled for a hearing.
In September, Justice Nagaprasanna had dismissed Siddaramaiah’s plea, which sought to challenge the Governor’s sanction granted on the applications filed by the three complainants. These applications aimed to initiate corruption cases against the Chief Minister related to land allotments by MUDA to his wife Parvathi.
Following this, the Karnataka Lokayukta filed an FIR against Siddaramaiah and three others, accusing them of corruption, cheating, and forgery in the MUDA site allotment case.
This latest move marks a significant development in the high-profile case, as Siddaramaiah continues to fight the allegations and seeks judicial relief.
