Siddaramaiah believes that the Mysuru Land Scam Case is driven by political motives
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah Confident of Justice in MUDA Scam
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah recently expressed his confidence in receiving justice through the judiciary in connection with the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) scam. Siddaramaiah is the accused number one in the case, with his wife BM Parvathi named as the second accused.
Court Proceedings and Stay on ED Notice
The Dharwad bench of Karnataka High Court has reserved judgment in the petition seeking a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the MUDA case. Siddaramaiah addressed concerns over the development by stating that he has faith in the judicial system to deliver justice. The court has also stayed the notice issued to Parvathi by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), questioning the urgency of the actions taken by the ED.
Political Motivations in the Case
Siddaramaiah hinted at political motivations behind the ED notice, stating that the entire MUDA case is politically motivated. The court’s decision to stay the summons until February 10 provides relief to Parvathi and State Urban Development Minister, Byrathi Suresh, who were both scheduled to appear before the ED.
Reserving Judgment and Ongoing Investigation
The Dharwad bench of Karnataka High Court, led by Justice M. Nagaprasanna, reserved judgment on the petition seeking a CBI investigation into the MUDA scam. The court directed the Karnataka Lokayukta to continue its investigation and submit a further report on the day of judgment. Allegations suggest that Siddaramaiah used his political influence to secure compensation for 14 sites in his wife’s name in exchange for land acquired by the MUDA.
In conclusion, the legal proceedings surrounding the MUDA scam continue to unfold, with the judiciary playing a crucial role in determining the outcome of the case. Siddaramaiah’s confidence in receiving justice reflects his trust in the legal system to address the allegations against him and his wife.
