Karnataka Lokayukta Special Court today adjourned till tomorrow the hearing on bail applications of Former Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa and others alleging irregularities in denotification of government land.
Judge N K Sudhindra Rao adjourned the hearing of the bail applications in two of the five complaints consisting 15 cases filed by Advocate Sirajin Basha.
In both the complaints, Mr Yeddyurappa is the main accused. While in the first complaint, apart from Mr Yeddyurappa,14 of his family members are the accused.
In the second complaint, nine others, including his sons and son-in-law, are the accused.
All the 15, including Yeddyurappa, were present in the court.
Mr Yeddyurappa’s Counsel Ravi B Naik, in his plea, said Arkavathy Layout is very big and the one acre 24 guntas (a gunta is 1/40 of an acre) of land that was denotified in this case was ”just a small part whereas the 60 acres of land surrounding this pocket was already notified for Manyata Builders by Former Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy and Former Governor Rameshwar Thakur.
It is not the question of comparison. But question of culpability.
