MUDA Case: Karnataka HC Extends Stay On Trial Court Proceedings Against CM Till Sept. 9

The Karnataka High Court on Monday extended the interim stay on trial court proceedings against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority case until September 9.

The extension came as the court adjourned the hearing for a week on Siddaramaiah’s petition challenging the legality of Governor Thaawarchand’s sanction for his prosecution.

Senior advocate K.G. Raghavan, representing one of the respondents, made submissions during the hearing. The Advocate General requested a week to prepare further arguments.

Justice M. Nagaprasanna stated, “Heard the learned senior counsel K.G. Raghavan. The learned Advocate General seeks a week’s time to make his submissions. List the matter on September 9 at 2:30 pm. The interim order granted on August 19 shall continue until the next date of hearing.”

On August 16, Governor Thaawarchand had granted sanction for Siddaramaiah’s prosecution under Section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, and Section 218 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, based on petitions filed by Pradeep Kumar S.P., T.J. Abraham, and Snehamayi Krishna.

Siddaramaiah challenged the Governor’s order, arguing that it was issued without proper consideration, violated statutory mandates, and disregarded constitutional principles, including the binding advice of the Council of Ministers under Article 163 of the Constitution.
