Setback to CM Siddaramaiah
The Free Press Journal|September 25, 2024
In a setback to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, the Karnataka High Court on Tuesday upheld the Governor Thaawarchand's approval for investigation against him in a site allotment case, and dismissed his petition stating that the gubernatorial order nowhere suffers from want of application of mind.
Setback to CM Siddaramaiah

The Chief Minister had challenged the sanction granted by the Governor for an investigation against him in the alleged irregularities in the allotment of 14 sites to his wife by the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) in a prime locality.

The Governor on August 16 gave his nod under Section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 and Section 218 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023 for the commission of the alleged offences as mentioned in the petitions submitted to him by complainants Pradeep Kumar S P, T J Abraham and Snehamayi Krishna.

On August 19, Siddaramaiah moved the High Court challenging the legality of the Governor's order.

"The facts narrated in the petition would undoubtedly require investigation. In the teeth of the fact that the beneficiary of all these acts is not anybody outside but the family of the petitioner. The petition stands dismissed," Justice M Nagaprasanna ruled.

He said: "interim order of any kind subsisting today shall stand dissolved."
