Chikkaballapur: The Special Court trying the cases against MPs/MLAs has ordered that a criminal case be registered against Health Minister Dr K Sudhakar, following the case filed by R Anjaneya Reddy, president of the Permanent Irrigation Agitation Committee.

The Court has also issued a summons to the minister in the matter.

Sudhakar, who is a legislator from Chikkaballapur, had been made chairperson of the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) during the Congress-JD(S) coalition government tenure. Reddy had challenged the appointment in court, questioning Sudhakar’s eligibility to hold the post and the criterion used for the selection of the MLA.

The legislator had countered, calling Reddy a person who had been imprisoned for sale of hooch to farmers.

Reddy had filed a defamation case in court against Sudhakar for the statement.

As the Supreme Court has opined that a defamation case could be considered a criminal case, Reddy has filed a criminal case against the minister. The Special Court has ordered the registration of the case and summoned Sudhakar.
