The Supreme Court will hear cases on February 28 against former Karnataka CM B.S. Yediyurappa, accused of de-notifying land for private benefit. The legal debate centers on whether fresh complaints can proceed against a public servant after the dismissal of earlier ones due to a lack of prosecution sanction. The Karnataka High Court’s 2021 decision to restore a dismissed complaint is under scrutiny, with arguments highlighting the amended Prevention of Corruption Act and its implications for public servants who have left office.
