Criminal Case against Karnataka CM BS Yediyurappa

• Recently, the Karnataka High Court issued a plea for the reinstatement of a criminal case against Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa and former Minister of State for Industries Murugesh Nirani for allegedly reneging on a 2011 promise to give a private investor 26 acres.

• In 2016, a sitting court quashed the private lawsuit lodged by Pasha.

• On Tuesday, Justice Michael Cunha ruled that the quashing of an earlier lawsuit for lack of penalty "will not work as a bar to maintain the instant complaint."
