Overview
- The Special Court for People’s Representatives deferred orders to December 23 after the Lokayukta missed a court‑set deadline to submit the final report.
- Lokayukta officials cited pending prosecution sanctions against certain officials as the reason a final report could not be filed.
- The court directed the Special Public Prosecutor to furnish the case diary and CD files, noting the state’s offer to submit a final report in a sealed cover was contested by the complainant.
- Complainant Snehamayi Krishna alleged the investigation lacked progress and witness examination, challenging the earlier closure ‘B’ report that gave a clean chit to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and others.
- In a parallel ED case, former MUDA commissioner G. T. Dinesh Kumar faces a money‑laundering prosecution complaint and his judicial custody was extended to December 31.
