Bengaluru: Siddaramaiah has got a setback from the Karnataka High Court. Siddaramaiah’s plea in the MUDA case has been rejected by the High Court. The High Court has said that a case will be filed against Siddaramaiah in the land scam. Let us tell you that the Karnataka High Court has given its verdict today on the petition of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah challenging the order of the Governor. Actually, Governor Thawarchand Gehlot had given approval for investigation against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in the Mysore Urban Development Authority site allocation case. After getting this approval from the Governor, an application was filed in the High Court on behalf of Siddaramaiah.
In such a situation, Siddaramaiah’s troubles are sure to increase. The lawyer of the other side says that if they are not satisfied with the action of the Lokayukta, they can demand a CBI inquiry.
Appeal can go before double bench
According to sources in the CM office, an appeal can be filed before the double bench against the decision of the single constitutional bench tomorrow itself. An appeal can be made to stop the hearing in the People’s Representative Court until the hearing of this petition is completed. If the double bench accepts the petition for hearing, then Siddaramaiah will get relief.
What will happen in the Public Representative Court?
The copy of today’s High Court order will be available to the People’s Representative Court tomorrow. Tomorrow or the day after, the People’s Representative Court can issue orders to register a case against the CM. In such a situation, an FIR can also be filed against Siddaramaiah within this week. Whether the Lokayukta police will investigate this or the investigation will be handed over to a separate wing of the Karnataka Police will depend on the court under consideration.
CM’s hopes are now pinned on the double bench. CM camp has made it clear that if relief is not obtained from the double bench, then Supreme Court will be approached and till then Siddaramaiah is not in a mood to resign.
