On Monday, the Karnataka High Court heard petitions from former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and others contesting the Governor's sanction for an investigation into the MUDA case. The division bench, led by Justices Anu Sivaraman and T. Venkatesh Naik, was approached by Siddaramaiah's lawyers seeking to postpone the inquiry set for August. The bench questioned the need for an indefinite delay but ultimately agreed to adjourn the matter to the third week of July. The MUDA case involves allegations that Siddaramaiah's family illegally acquired land in Kesare village, Mysore, and misused power to influence officials. A complaint filed by Snehamayi Krishna prompted the investigation, which was sanctioned by the Governor in August. The High Court had previously dismissed Siddaramaiah's appeal against this investigation order, and the Lokayukta police's B report clearing him and his family was accepted by a special court.
