Overview

• 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.
