Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court on Saturday decreased to entertain as a petition of public interest (pills) submitted by Social Activists TJ Abraham because he felt he had personal interest in it.
Abraham has been seeking an investigation into a special investigation team consisting of senior officer Anti-Corruption Bureau and registering the first information report to the alleged payment of bribes and cash collection on behalf of Used CM BS Yediyurappa by his son by Vijayendra and other family members.
As an alternative, he is looking for a CBI probe into this problem.
Appeared in the name of Abraham, senior advocate Meenakshi Arora told the court while acknowledging that there was a case to continue, the court court rejected personal complaints in the field that there was no valid sanction because the governor had refused request.
However, a division bench led by the chairman of Judge Abhay Shreeniwas Oka showed that there was no FIR registered from the start to refer to any agency.
The bench noted that because the applicant had filed a personal complaint that had been dismissed, he had personal interests and medicine elsewhere, not a pill.
The bench directs the registry to record the petition.
Now it will appear before one bench.
On July 8, 2021, the trial court had refused Abraham’s personal complaints against Yediyurappa and the other, on the grounds that the governor had rejected sanctions for prosecution under the prevention of corruption laws.
Abraham has accused the payment of RS 12 Crore bribes in connection with BDA housing projects as expressed in TV channel exposure and also illegal collections around RS 17.5 Cash Crore on behalf of Yediyurappa by family members.
On November 20, 2019, he had approached the governor who was looking for sanctions for prosecution against Yediyurappa and St Somashekar.
In addition to Yediyurappa and his son by Vijayendra, Grandson Shashidhar Maradi, Daughter-in-law of Virupakshappa Yahahmaradi, Sanjay Sree, Daughter-in-law of Yediyurappa Padmavathi, Minister of Collaboration St Somashekar and businessman Chandrakanth Ramalingam was named after the defendant.
