The Karnataka HC dismissed CM Siddaramaiah’s plea against the Governor’s approval for his investigation in the MUDA scam, affirming the Governor’s independent authority in exceptional cases like this.
The 3.16-acre agricultural land was bought by the Siddaramaiah's brother-in-law B M Mallikarjunaswamy during the 2004-2005 period and later gifted it to his sister B M Parvati, in 2010.
