THE JHARKHAND STORY DESK
Bengaluru, Feb 7: The Karnataka High Court on Friday dismissed RTI activist Snehamayi Krishna’s petition seeking a CBI probe into the MUDA site allotment case, in which Chief Minister Siddaramaiah faces allegations of irregularities.
The case involves the allotment of 14 sites by the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) to his wife, Parvathi B M.
Justice M Nagaprasanna ruled that there was no evidence suggesting the Lokayukta’s investigation was biased, flawed, or inadequate to warrant a transfer to the CBI and the petition was subsequently dismissed.

The Lokayukta police in Mysuru registered an FIR on September 27, following an order from the Special Court handling cases related to former and sitting MPs/MLAs.
The FIR names several individuals, including Siddaramaiah, his wife Parvathi, brother-in-law B M Mallikarjun Swamy, and Devaraju, from whom Swamy had purchased land before gifting it to Parvathi.
