Apex court, however, does not stay High Court order restoring the complaint
The Supreme Court on Wednesday protected Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa from arrest in a corruption case concerning the 2011 de-notification of a housing project proposal for middle and low income groups on 26 acres in Bengaluru, allegedly to make “illegal monetary gain”.
A Bench led by Chief Justice Sharad A. Bobde further agreed to examine Mr. Yediyurappa’s challenge against a January 5, 2021 order of the Karnataka High Court restoring the corruption complaint filed against him by a private investor, A. Alam Pasha, whose infrastructure development company had applied for the ₹600-crore project before it was withdrawn.
