Bangalore: In a major
setback to Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa, the Karnataka High
Court Thursday allowed police to question him and his kin on
corruption charges and illegal land deal cases.
Justice K.N. Keshavanarayana cancelled the stay he had ordered on
the trial court proceedings in the five cases filed against
Yeddyurappa, his two sons, son-in-law and others.
The court ruling spells further trouble for Yeddyurappa, who is
abroad at present, with the Lokayukta also naming him as amongst
those involved in illegal mining in the state.
The judge had granted the stay in March on a petition by
Yeddyurappa's son-in-law R. Sohan Kumar challenging the trial
court ordering police to probe five complaints against the chief
minister, his kin and others.
The five complaints were filed in January by two Bangalore
advocates Sirajin Bhasha and K.N. Balaraj after Governor H.R.
Bhardwaj granted them permission to file criminal cases against
Yeddyurappa and others on charges of corruption and illegal land
deals.
Besides Yeddyurappa, the advocates have named his two sons, B.Y.
Raghavendra and B.Y. Vijayendra, son-in-law Sohan Kumar and
several others in their complaints.
Raghavendra is a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Lok Sabha member.
