Opposition Leader in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly B S Yeddyurappa, who is also BJP State President and three others, got a big relief as the Kalaburagi bench of State High Court on Friday granted a Interim Stay on FIR filed against them in connection with the Audio on alleged ‘Operation Kamal’ case filed at Devadurga Police station.
Justice P G M Patil, who heard an appeal by Mr Yeddyurappa and others to quash the FIR filed against them, had reserved his order yesterday and today he granted interim stay.
The issue had rocked the recent budget session of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly and the State Government has ordered probe in to the Audio by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) as ordered by Assembly Speaker Ramesh Kumar who was also allegedly mentioned in the Audio recorded by Sharanagouda son of Gurmitkal MLA Naganagouda Kankur JDS offerring him money for making his father to join BJP. The BJP, alleging that the Congress-JDS Coalition Government has lost majority, had even stalled Governor’s Address to the Joint House on the opening day as per customary. (UNI)
