Siddaramaiah challenges HC's order quashing his plea against Governor's nod for prosecution
Bengaluru: CM Siddaramaiah has appealed to the High Court questioning the Governor's permission to prosecution against him in the alleged MUDA scam, on Thursday.
The CM has approached a divisional bench of the court, questioning an earlier order passed by a single judge bench in the case.
The bench had upheld the decision of the governor's consent to prosecution, after hearing the CM's plea. It has rejected the application while declaring that the governor's consent had been legally valid.
The CM has now approached the divisional bench questioning the order of the single judge bench. The court is yet to hear the appeal.
