Land scam: Karnataka Cabinet asks Governor not to allow CM?s prosecution
As Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa faced possibility of prosecution in an alleged land scam, the state Cabinet on Wednesday urged Governor HR Bhardwaj to drop proceedings initiated to allow the chief minister?s trial.
Bhardwaj has reportedly decided to grant sanction on a petition by a lawyers? forum to prosecute Yeddyurappa and state Home minister R Ashoka in connection with the alleged land scam.
The state Cabinet, in an emergency meeting on Wednesday that was chaired by the chief minister, passed a resolution asking the Governor not to allow prosecution of Yeddyurappa and Ashoka.
?Your Excellency?s action of consideration of the request for sanction will not inspire confidence that the decision would be judicious, fair and bonafide,? the resolution stated.
It further pointed that no investigating agency nor any Commission of Inquiry has indicted the Chief Minister or the Home Minister so far and ??.Hence your intended exercise of the power to process the request for sanction is wholly without jurisdiction.?
The Cabinet also expressed its disapproval over the Governor?s action of contemplating allowing prosecution of the two ministers.
Bhardwaj, who has been in loggerheads with the Bharatiya Janata Party state government, had set January 20 as deadline for the government to submit him 93 files pertaining to alleged land scams.
