The Karnataka High Court dismissed Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's petition challenging the governor's authority to sanction an investigation into the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) alternative sites controversy. Governor Taawarchand Gehlot had granted approval for the probe based on complaints linking Siddaramaiah to the case, with allegations that his wife, Parvathi, was a beneficiary of the land allocation. The court upheld the governor’s authority to order the investigation, allowing it to proceed. This ruling marks a significant setback for Siddaramaiah, who had sought to stop the inquiry into the MUDA land allotment issue. The case will now continue under the governor’s directive.
