Bangalore, May 21: Former Chief Minister and KJP Chief B S Yeddyurappa suffered a major legal setback when the Karnataka High Court on Tuesday dismissed his petition against the two private complaints on alleged illegal land denotification registered against him before the Lokayukta court.
High Court Judge, Justice Anand Byrareddy, dismissed Yeddyurappa’s petition observing that it was “premature” at this juncture.
The High Court directed the former chief minister to approach the lower court as it was the correct forum.
Yeddyurappa and his two sons - B Y Raghavendra, Lok Sabha member, and B Y Vijayendra - and son-in-law R N Sohan Kumar were among those named in the complaints filed by advocate Sirajin Basha in the Lokayukta court.
The two complaints from Advocatge Sirajin Basha pertain to alleged illegal denotification of lands in Rachenahalli, Vayali Kaval House Building Cooperative Society area and H S R Layout in Bangalore.
