Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday dismissed Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s plea challenging the Governor’s sanction to prosecute him in connection with the alleged Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) scam.
Justice M. Nagaprasanna stated that the complaint required investigation and upheld the Governor’s authority to grant approval for prosecution.
The court also noted that it is the complainants’ duty to seek approval under Section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act, and the Governor has the discretion to take an independent decision.
