Bengaluru, Karnataka – The Karnataka High Court dismissed a petition from Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday, challenging Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot’s approval for an investigation into alleged irregularities in the allocation of 14 sites by the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) involving his wife.
Court Ruling Paves the Way for Investigation
The court’s ruling clears the path for the investigation to proceed, affirming the validity of the Governor’s approval. This decision follows an interim order on August 19 that temporarily prevented the special court in Bengaluru from taking action based on the Governor’s sanction.

Background of the Case
Governor Gehlot emphasized the need for a “neutral, objective, and impartial investigation” into allegations of corruption linked to land allocations made during the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) rule in 2021. The investigation was initiated based on complaints from Bengaluru’s TJ Abraham and Mysuru’s Snehamayi Krishna.
Political Reactions and Next Steps
Following the court’s decision, Congress leaders indicated that CM Siddaramaiah may appeal against the High Court’s ruling. This case marks a significant development in Karnataka’s political landscape, raising questions about accountability and governance.
Conclusion
The High Court’s decision not only legitimizes the investigation into alleged corruption but also underscores the ongoing political tensions in Karnataka. As this situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how it will impact the state’s political dynamics and Siddaramaiah’s leadership.
