HC halts action against Sidda in land graft case

Hindustan Times  

The Karnataka high court on Monday ordered a trial court to refrain from taking any action against chief minister Siddaramaiah until August 29, two days after state governor Thawar Chand Gehlot sanctioned prosecution against him in the alleged Mysuru Urban Development Authority scam. Siddaramaiah had approached the high court challenging the prosecution sanction, arguing that the decision was “illegal and without the authority of law” and could potentially result in the “political destabilisation” of an elected government. Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah addresses a press conference after a cabinet meeting over Governor Thaawar Chand Gehlot's decision to grant sanction for prosecution of the CM. In its order on Monday, however, a Karnataka high court bench helmed by justice M Nagaprasanna said, “It was argued that the proceedings before the trial court are up for orders on whether a sanction should be granted to prosecute the Chief Minister.
