Bangalore: Yeddyurappa to Spend Diwali in Jail as Court Defers Bail Plea
Daijiworld Media Network - Bangalore
Bangalore, Oct 24: Former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa will be spending Diwali behind bars, after the high court on Monday October 24 deferred his bail plea to Friday October 28.
The bail plea was deferred by three days as the court goes on a three-day holiday starting starting Tuesday October 25.
Moreover, Yeddyurappa's lawyer Jayakumar Patil withdrew his client's interim bail plea which had been filed for three days so that Yeddyurappa could spend his Diwali at home with family.
On October 28, the court will hear the former CM's regular bail plea.
The Lokayukta court had earlier extended his judicial custody till November 3.
Yeddyurappa was arrested on October 15 on charges of corruption on two cases. He was shifted to Jayadeva hospital soon after and then to Victoria hospital, before he was shifted back to jail.
