Bengaluru, Apr 2 (UNI) The Karnataka High Court on Wednesday refused to grant a stay on the single judge’s order quashing the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) summons issued to DB Natesha, former Commissioner of Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA).
However, the court clarified that the order would not impede the ongoing investigation into the alleged illegal allotment of land to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s wife, Parvathi.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice NV Anjaria and Justice KV Aravind, while delivering its order, stated, "The prayer for stay as such is not accepted. However, we have found in favour of this judgment, which is not in rem and cannot stall investigation against other persons involved in the case. We have permitted investigations to continue."
