Bangalore: Yeddyurappa to Challenge Governor Sanction in HC
Bangalore, Jan 22 (PTI): Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa is likely to file a petition before the High Court on January 24 challenging Governor H R Bhardwaj's sanction to prosecute him under the provisions of Prevention of Corruption Act.
"We are already working on a framework. We will go to court. The Chief Minister is likely to file a petition before the High Court on Monday", Minister for Law S Suresh Kumar told PTI here.
He said the Governor is yet to furnish a copy of his order giving sanction to prosecute Yeddyurappa, despite pleas.
"Let us see whether the Governor will give us a copy today", Kumar said.
Yesterday, Yeddyurappa had shot off a letter to Bhardwaj objecting to denial of the copy of the order.
Sources said when Chief Minister's Principal Secretary met the Governor, Bhardwaj told him that he would first give the order copy to complainants.
