Expressing doubts over the state government implementing his report on the illegal mining scam in Karnataka, state Lokayukta Justice N Santosh Hegde on Saturday said his only hope was the Supreme Court.
“Government will not act on it,” Hegde said on the report which is expected to be submitted to the government next week.
“My only hope is the Supreme Court,” he said.
He, however, said it was not mandatory for the government to accept his report, which has indicted Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa.
Four ministers, including three from the mineral-rich Bellary district, have also been indicted by the Lokayukta, whose findings say that the “huge racket” has caused a loss of Rs 1,800 crore to the exchequer in 14 months since March 2009.
Hegde, a former Supreme Court judge, said the apex court is monitoring the illegal activity in mining area in Karnataka and it has expressed very strongly that the government should completely stop mining in Bellary.
