Karnataka High Court Rejects CBI Probe Request in MUDA Land Case Involving Chief Minister Siddaramaiah

The court ruled that the Lokayukta's investigation into allegations of illegal land allotment to Siddaramaiah's wife is not biased or flawed.

The Karnataka High Court dismissed a petition seeking to transfer the MUDA land allotment case investigation involving Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to the CBI.
The case centers on allegations of illegalities in the allotment of 14 sites by the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) to Siddaramaiah's wife, Parvathi B M.
Activist Snehamayi Krishna argued that the Lokayukta police, a state agency, might not conduct a fair investigation due to Siddaramaiah's position as Chief Minister.
The court ruled that there was no evidence to suggest the Lokayukta's investigation was biased or inadequate, rejecting the need for a CBI probe.
Siddaramaiah has consistently denied the allegations, labeling the case as politically motivated, while the opposition BJP has demanded his resignation.
