Pass fresh order on plea for probe into site allotted to Kharge family trust in Bengaluru: Karnataka HC to special court
The Karnataka High Court has directed a special court to reconsider a petition regarding the alleged illegal allotment of a civic amenities site in Bengaluru to a trust associated with Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's family. The court found that the special court had improperly conducted its own inquiry instead of allowing a Lokayukta police investigation, citing technical defects in the complainant's affidavit as a curable issue. The allegations involve irregularities in the trust's claim to a site valued at approximately ₹130 crore, which was expedited under questionable circumstances.
