A special court has deferred its decision on the Lokayukta's closure report, directing a broader investigation into allegations of irregular land compensation linked to Mysuru Urban Development Authority plots.

Overview

  • The Karnataka special court has instructed the Lokayukta police to expand their investigation into the MUDA case and submit a comprehensive final report by May 7.
  • The case involves allegations that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's wife, Parvathi, received inflated compensation through the allotment of 14 premium plots in Mysuru.
  • An earlier 'B Report' by the Lokayukta police gave a clean chit to Siddaramaiah, his wife, and others, citing insufficient evidence, but this has been challenged by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and activist Snehamaayi Krishna.
  • The court ruled that the investigation should not be limited to the four individuals initially named in the FIR and must include all parties potentially involved in the alleged irregularities.
  • Social activists have alleged that the illegal allotments caused an estimated financial loss of Rs 45 crore to the state, with further scrutiny now required to quantify the impact and assign accountability.
