Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court has stayed a special court’s order summoning former Chief Minister and BJP leader BS Yediyurappa in connection with a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The special court had earlier directed Yediyurappa and three other accused to appear before it on March 15.
The summons was issued after the court took fresh cognisance of the charge sheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). This followed the High Court's recent decision to set aside an earlier cognisance order and instruct the special court to pass a fresh one.
The case stems from a complaint filed by the mother of a 17-year-old girl, who alleged that Yediyurappa sexually assaulted her daughter during a meeting at his Bengaluru residence in February last year. The Sadashivanagar police registered an FIR on March 14, 2024, before the case was transferred to the CID, which later re-registered the FIR and filed a charge sheet.
