Bangalore, Oct 20 (IANS): Leaving him to spend a second full day at the central jail here, the Karnataka High Court has adjourned till Friday the hearing on former chief minister B.S. Yeddyurappa's bail plea.

Justice B.V. Pinto will resume hearing the arguments for and against the bail Friday.

Yeddyurappa had petitioned the high court Monday for bail.

On Oct 15, the Lokayukta special court judge N.K. Sudhindra Rao declined bail to Yeddyurappa and sent him to judicial custody till Oct 22 in two corruption cases.

Yeddyurappa was arrested Oct 15 evening and taken to the jail in Parappana Agrahara, a suburb in east Bangalore.

However, he stayed there for only a few hours and was shifted to the government-run Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research early Sunday after he complained of chest pain.

From there, Yeddyurappa moved to Victoria Hospital, also government-run, on the ground that he was suffering from high blood pressure and other ailments.

He went back to jail Wednesday morning.

He is seeking bail from the high court in two of five cases of corruption and illegal land deals filed by two Bangalore advocates in January this year.

The advocates, Sirajin Bhasha and N.K. Balaraj, have charged Yeddyurappa, his two sons - BJP Lok Sabha member B.Y. Raghavendra and B.Y. Vijayendra - and son-in-law R. Sohan Kumar of conspiracy to denotify government land in return for monetary gains.

Former state Muzrai (endowments) minister S.N. Krishnaiah Shetty, BJP legislator Hemachanda Sagar and several others are also accused in the cases.

Rao has given conditional bail to all the accused, except Yeddyurappa and Shetty, who too has moved the high court for bail.

Shetty's bail plea will also be heard Friday.
