Karnataka High Court to jointly hear activist Snehamayi Krishnan’s plea for CBI probe and CM Siddaramaiah’s challenge to prosecution sanction on Sept 4. Court orders fresh notices to unserved respondents including co-accused landowner Devaraju.
A Division Bench of the Karnataka High Court has issued notices to the Central and State governments, along with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, on an appeal challenging a single judge’s decision denying a request for a CBI investigation into the MUDA case.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s plea against a Governor-sanctioned investigation into alleged corruption in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority has been postponed to January 20. He contests the legality of the sanction, claiming political motivations behind the allegations. The Lokayukta is investigating claims of improper land allocations to his wife amidst ongoing pressures from the BJP.
