Relief for Yediyurappa in Denotification Case, SC Stays HC Order

The corruption case against Karnataka CM BS Yediyurappa was earlier restored by the high court.

The Supreme Court on Monday, 5 April, stayed an order by the Karnataka High Court, giving relief to state Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa in connection with a land notification case.

After issuing the notice, the apex court bench, comprising Chief Justice of India SA Bobde and Justices AS Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian, stayed the initiation of inquiry against Yediyurappa in a plea challenging the high court order.

The corruption case against Yediyurappa was earlier restored by the high court, as it set aside a special court's dismissal of the case.
