Siddaramaiah did not get relief from the High Court, case will be filed against CM in land scam case
MUDA case: On August 31, the office of the Governor of Karnataka had told the High Court that permission to prosecute Karnataka Chief Minister K Siddaramaiah in the Mysore Urban Development Authority scam was given after "deliberation".
Karnataka High Court has not given relief to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in the Mysore Urban Development Authority case. The High Court has given permission to prosecute CM Siddaramaiah. During the hearing, the High Court said that there is a need to investigate the facts mentioned in the petition. The High Court had reserved its decision after completing the hearing of the case on September 12. In this petition, Siddaramaiah had challenged the approval given by Governor Thawarchand Gehlot for investigation against him in the Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) case.
On Tuesday, the High Court gave its verdict on the Mysore Urban Development Authority case and said that the Governor can run the case according to the law. While passing the judgment, a bench of Justice M Nagaprasanna said that the governor can take "independent decisions" and that Governor Gehlot has "fully applied his mind. Therefore, there is no flaw in the governor's action as far as the order (to prosecute the chief minister) is concerned."
TJ Abraham, a complainant in the alleged Muda scam, said, "The anti-corruption movement has got a great boost. I am sure the judge has travelled far in various judgments across the country to arrive at this conclusion. This is a brilliant order. We were prepared for it."
Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar said, "There is no question of the chief minister resigning. He has not done anything wrong. He is not involved in any scam. This is a political conspiracy by the BJP. We stand with him, we support him. He is doing good work for the country, the party and the state." Minister Ramalinga Reddy said, "We have faith in the law. We will fight it." We will question (the decision) in the double bench, other benches and the Supreme Court. We stand with the Chief Minister.
