Big Setback For Siddaramaiah, Petition Against Governor's Order Dismissed | Read
The Karnataka High Court has dismissed Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's challenge to Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot sanctioning the prosecution of the Congress leader in the alleged MUDA land scam case.
A bench of Justice M Nagaprasanna said the Governor "did apply his mind in abundance" and could, therefore, take an "independent decision" on calling for the Chief Minister's prosecution.
"The order (by the Governor) does not suffer from non-application of mind... There is no fault in the Governor's actions. The facts narrated need investigation. The petition stands dismissed."
