The Karnataka High Court on Thursday ordered authorities to serve notice to B.M. Parvathi, wife of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, in connection with the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) land scam. Parvathi has been named the second accused, with CM Siddaramaiah listed as the first.
The direction came during a hearing of a petition filed by activist Snehamayi Krishna, who has sought a CBI probe into the alleged illegal allotment of 14 MUDA sites to Parvathi, which she later returned following public uproar.
The division bench, led by Acting Chief Justice V. Kameshwara Rao and Justice C.M. Joshi, questioned the delay in serving notice and ordered immediate action. The court also reviewed an appeal filed by CM Siddaramaiah against Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot&rsquo;s consent for prosecution.
The case has been adjourned to September 4. The High Court&rsquo;s decision adds pressure on the Chief Minister amid reports of growing friction between him and Deputy CM D.K. Shivakumar. Both leaders are currently in Delhi for talks with the Congress high command.
CM Siddaramaiah, reacting from Delhi, said he was unaware of the court development and would gather more information.
