Misappropriation case: High Court quashes criminal proceedings against three retired IAS officers

The High Court of Karnataka has quashed criminal proceedings and probe against three retired IAS officers, initiated by a special court on a private complaint, in which it was alleged that six officers of the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (RDPR) Department had caused loss of ₹269 crore to the exchequer due to misappropriation of funds during 2009-15.

Justice M. Nagaprasanna passed the order on the petitions filed by retired IAS officers and former principal secretaries of the RDPR Department Amita Prasad and T.M. Vijay Bhaskar (who is also former Chief Secretary), and E.V. Ramana Reddy, who retired recently after serving as Additional Chief Secretary. The three officers had served in the RDPR Department during 2011-15.
