Former Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy and his wife Anita appeared before Lokayukta Court on Friday in response to the summons against them in connection with two corruption cases.
Kumaraswamy arrived along with his wife after the court granted them anticipatory bail.
The husband-wife duo furnished personal bonds of Rs. 50,000 each and a surety before Lokayukta Special Court Judge N K Sudhindra Rao.
The court later adjourned the case to September 24. Earlier, the counsel for Kumaraswamy and his wife filed a memo along with a copy of the yesterday's High Court order in which they were ordered to be released in the event of arrest on personal bond of Rs. 50,000 each and one surety.
The counsel submitted that they had already been granted anticipatory bail and have appeared before the court and were ready to furnish the required personal bonds and surety.
Counsel for the third accused Vinod Goel, Managing Director of Jentakal Mining Company, filed an application seeking exemption from personal appearance on health grounds today, which the court accepted. All the three accused are required to be present on September 24.
Meanwhile, Kumaraswamy and his wife have moved a regular bail plea in the Lokayukta court.
The case was in connection to a private complaint filed by advocate Vinod Kumar, alleging that Kumaraswamy had favoured a mining company during his tenure as Chief Minister in 2006-07 by renewing its licences and also by issuing permits for lifting iron ore.
The complaint also charged Kumaraswamy with allowing bulk allotment of sites to a housing society and, quid pro quo, it had granted a site to his wife.
