Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court has extended the temporary relief granted to former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa in connection with a POCSO case. The decision came during a hearing on his petition to quash the case, where an additional charge sheet was recently filed against him.

During the proceedings, CID Special Public Prosecutor Ashok Naik requested additional time to submit the charge sheet. Yediyurappa’s lawyer, Nagesh, strongly contested the delay, stating that if the trial proceeds, it could lead to his client's imprisonment.

The court has scheduled the next hearing for September 5, 2024, and maintained the interim order protecting Yediyurappa from arrest until then.
