According to the order of the Governor, the Chief Minister should be prosecuted. He said there was no error in the Governor’s action. Earlier, several senior advocates including Supreme Court advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi appeared on behalf of Siddaramaiah. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta was present on behalf of Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot. Apart from this, lawyers Snemayi Krishna and TJ Abraham also heard their arguments on behalf of the complainants.
The complainant alleged that MUDA had illegally allotted 14 plots in a prime area of Mysore to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s wife. In that order, the Karnataka High Court gave temporary relief to Siddaramaiah in the interim order given on August 19. Apart from this, the special court in bengaluru ordered that the further proceedings be postponed and no hasty steps be taken following the Governor’s approval. On August 31, the Karnataka Governor’s office told the High Court that after ‘discussion’ it had permitted to prosecute Karnataka Chief Minister K. Siddaramaiah in the Mysore Urban Development Authority scam. (Maxim News)
