Bengaluru: In a major relief for Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa the Special Court to hear cases against people’s representatives dismissed a private complaint against him and eight others.
The court, which had reserved the orders after hearing arguments, dismissed the petition.
The complaint was filed by TJ Abraham, president of the Anti-Graft and Environmental Forum, seeking an order for an investigation into alleged corruption by the CM and others.
The complaint was filed against the CM, his son and BJP state Vice-President B Y Vijayendra, grandson Shashidhar Maradi, son-in-law Virupakshappa Yamakanmaradi, besides Sanjay Sree, son-in-law of Yediyurappa’s daughter Padmavathi, Cooperation Minister ST Somashekar and others.
