The Lokayukta court on Saturday rejected the B-report filed by the Lokayukta police in respect of the Upper Bhadra case involving former Karnataka chief minister B.S. Yeddyurappa and others.
The court, while rejecting the report which had said that there were no illegalities committed in the award of contracts, has directed the Lokayukta police to re-investigate and file a report within 21 days. With this, Mr Yeddyurappa, Dhavalagiri Properties, Sahyadri Healthcare and Murudeshwar Enterprises will face another round of investigation. The matter was adjourned to June 18.
JD(S) leader Y.S.V. Datta, the complainant, had earlier filed objections to the B-report filed by the Lokayukta police.
The counsel for the complainant had stated that the state government had released funds to RNS Infrastructure and, of the same amount, `16 crore was diverted to the accounts of Sahyadri Healthcare and Diagnostics Pvt Ltd and Dhavalagiri Properties, owned by Mr Yeddyurappa’s kith and kin. The counsel for the complainant argued that a CA’s report attached with the B-report was sufficient to chargesheet the accused.
Mr Datta’s advocate had argued that Lokayukta police had taken legal advice of the then state advocate-general B.V. Acharya, who recommended filing of a B-report. However, before being appointed as advocate-general, Mr Acharya had given a favourable legal opinion for RNS Infrastructure during the tender proceedings, he pointed out.
