The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed an appeal in the high court against the closure of a corruption case involving Chief Minister Siddaramaiah of Karnataka, his wife Parvathy, and others, regarding the alleged illegal allotment of plots in Mysuru. This appeal follows a similar petition from activist Snehamayi Krishna. In March 2024, the high court issued notices to the Lokayukta police and the ED concerning the closure of the case, which had previously been dismissed by a special court due to a lack of evidence. The special court had accepted a closure report from the Lokayukta Police in January, which provided relief to Siddaramaiah and the other accused. The initial FIR was registered in September 2024, alleging that Siddaramaiah was involved in the unlawful allotment of 14 housing plots to his wife by the Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA). This case has garnered considerable public attention due to its implications for political accountability in Karnataka.
