Overview
- The court accepted the Lokayukta police 'B' report for Siddaramaiah, B.M. Parvathi, Mallikarjuna Swamy and J. Devaraj, rejecting the complainant’s protest and a plea for contempt proceedings.
- The case stems from allegations that 14 MUDA sites worth about ₹56 crore were allotted to Parvathi in exchange for 3.16 acres under a 50:50 compensation scheme, a grant she returned in 2024.
- The Lokayukta filed the closure report in February 2025 after the Governor’s 2024 sanction under Section 17A enabled an FIR and investigation later upheld by the Karnataka High Court.
- The special court set February 9 as the next date for filing the final report on the ongoing probe into other accused persons.
- A 2025 judicial commission found no wrongdoing by the CM’s family but flagged large-scale MUDA irregularities, while the ED’s separate PMLA track includes property attachments of roughly ₹300 crore and a prosecution complaint against ex-MUDA commissioner G.T. Dinesh Kumar.
