Sufficient Evidence To Show Involvement Of BJP MLA Madal Virupakshappa In Corruption Case : Karnataka High Court In Bail Plea

Live Law  

There is sufficient evidence to show the involvement of BJP MLA Madal Virupakshappa in the corruption case, observed the Karnataka High Court while dismissing his anticipatory bail application in connection with a bribe case. Though this Court granted the interim anticipatory bail until disposal of the case, because there was no material found in FIR at that time, but now, there is sufficient evidence to show the involvement of the petitioner in the commission of offence as per the case diary of the police and statement of Mohan under Section 164 of Cr.P.C.” It added : “Therefore, the custody of the petitioner is imminent for the Lokayukta police to interrogate him in the matter. If the company pays more than crores of rupees as commission or bribe, one cannot expect the good quality of raw materials will be supplied by the said company and the very tender process followed by the tender accepting Committee and accepting the lowest price and good quality of raw materials will be frustrated.” Further the bench opined : “The public auction process through online would remain as an empty formality and eye wash to the public as they are following the KTPP Act. In a related development, the Supreme Court today issued notice on the petition filed by the Karnataka Lok Ayukta against the previous order of the High Court granting interim anticipatory bail to Virupakshappa.
