BJP leader B.S. Yediyurappa Today (April 7) requested the Karnataka High Court to ease his bail travel restriction. The court will hear the matter right after the summer vacation.
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.
Advocate Sachin S Deshpande from Bengaluru has urged the Supreme Court to address prolonged stays in corruption cases involving former Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa. He highlighted inconsistencies in stay grants, claiming favoritism undermines public confidence. Deshpande called for urgent reform to ensure timely hearings, reiterating the need for the judiciary to uphold its integrity and anti-corruption objectives.
