The Supreme Court on Friday stayed a Karnataka High Court order refusing to quash corruption charges against former Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa in an illegal land de-notification case dating back to 2006-07.
A Bench led by Chief Justice of India N. V. Ramana, while issuing notice to the State of Karnataka, froze the implementation of the December 2020 order of the High Court in the case concerning the illegal de-notification of large tracts of land in Whitefield IT Corridor acquired for an infotech-related project in 2006-07. Mr. Yediyurappa was the Deputy Chief Minister then in the BJP-JD(S) coalition government headed by H. D. Kumaraswamy.
