Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa has once again found himself in trouble after a special court on Saturday allowed an investigation in a land denotification case.
The case pertains to the denotification of about 4.30 acres of prime land near Bellandur, Bengaluru while Yeddyurappa was Deputy Chief Minister. The case has haunted Yediyurappa for several years. In 2013, one Vasudeva Reddy had filed a private complaint.
A special court while hearing the denotification case on Saturday rejected the Lokayukta police's B report and allowed an investigation.
Judge Sridhar Gopalakrishna Bhat ordered further investigation into the case and instructed Lokayukta Deputy Superintendent of Police of the same. In addition, the High Court has been instructed to conduct an investigation and submit a final report.
In 2015, the Lokayukta Special Court ordered an investigation. The B Report was filed in January 2021 and said that the allegations were futile. The court has rejected this B report and ordered an investigation into the case.
