Justice John Michael Cunha of the Karnataka High Court had ordered the special court to take cognisance of the offences mentioned in the chargesheet and proceed in the case as per law.
This was challenged by Yediyurappa in the SC on the grounds that he had not been named in the PCR or the FIR registered by police and hence there were no allegations against him.
The Supreme Court has stayed an order of the Karnataka High Court that reinstated criminal proceedings against Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa in a case of land denotification.
