HC notice to Karnataka chief secretary in Yeddyurappa case

Bangalore, Aug 16: The Karnataka High Court today (Aug 16) ordered issue of notice to the state chief secretary on a writ petition filed by former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa challenging the sanction accorded for his prosecution by Governor H R Bhardwaj on private complaints relating to land scams.

When the petition came up, a division bench comprising justices Ajit Gunjal and B V Nagarathna ordered issue of notice and adjourned further hearing of the plea to August 25.

On July 25, the court had directed Yeddyurappa to file the necessary application to implead the state government as the party in the writ petition.
