Bengaluru, 15 Nov

The Karnataka Lokayukta filed a status report in trial court on Saturday in connection with the investigation into the alleged irregularities in allocation of MUDA land parcels to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's family.

The City Civil and Sessions Court on Saturday heard proceedings in the private complaint filed by activist Snehamayi Krishna against Siddaramaiah with regard to the charges.

The complaint accuses the Chief Minister and others of alleged irregularities in the allotment of Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) sites to members of the Siddaramaiah’s family.

When the matter was called, the complainant appeared in person. The Special Public Prosecutor (SPP) representing the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the SPP appearing for the Lokayukta were also present.

During the brief hearing, the Lokayukta’s SPP submitted a status report on the ongoing probe into the MUDA-related allegations.

The prosecutor informed the court that a substantial portion of the investigation is currently in progress and sought additional time to file a more detailed and updated report.  Accepting the submission, the court adjourned the proceedings to 4 December for the next hearing.
