The Karnataka High Court on Friday reversed its order on the anticipatory bail application of former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa, who is asked to appear before the Lokayukta on Saturday to face the allegations of denotification of government land for personal gain.
Justice L Narayana Swamy after hearing the counsel, reserved his order on the bail application of B S Yeddyurappa to August 29.
The Special Lokayukta Court on August 8 had ordered to issue the summons to Yeddyurappa to appear before it on August 27, on a private complaint filed by the lawyer Sirajin Basha.
Earlier, Yeddyurappa's counsel and famous Supreme Court lawyer U U Lalit had submitted that the denotification was a collective decision involving many departments, including the Bangalore Development Authority and not an individual decision taken by Yeddyurappa.
Lalit cited a Supreme Court Judgement in he Gurbaksh Singh case and submitted that today political battles are fought in criminal courts and also argued that merely taking a decision is not illegal and also stated that liberty of an individual should not get prejudiced.
