The Karnataka High Court has dismissed Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's petition challenging Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot's approval for an investigation into the alleged MUDA scam. The case involves the allotment of 14 high-value land parcels, totaling 3.16 acres, in Vijaynagar to Siddaramaiah's wife, Parvathi, in 2021 by the Mysore Urban Development Authority. The court upheld the Governor's decision, stating that the Governor's actions were in accordance with the law and that the matter requires further investigation. This verdict represents a significant setback for Siddaramaiah, as it allows the probe into the alleged illegalities to proceed.
