Karnataka Court Rebukes Lokayukta Over MUDA Probe Delay, Seeks Case Diary

The judge demanded the case diary after the Lokayukta filed only a status update.

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.
