| In a setback to former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa, the Supreme Court today ordered a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe against him for nepotism, illegal land acquisition and favoring top mining companies.
The Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice SH Kapadia also stayed all the proceedings relating to the matter before any court in Karnataka.
The top court has asked the CBI to file its report by August 3, asking it to probe the allegations that the Prerna Trust managed by members of Mr Yeddyurappa's immediate family received a huge donation from the mining company favoured by him. The role of South West Mining company, a Jindal Group company will also be probed.
A central empowered committee of the Supreme Court had earlier recommended a CBI probe against Mr Yeddyurappa.
The panel had suggested that the CBI should investigate in detail, alleged misuse of office by Mr Yeddyurappa as the chief minister, noting that prima facie massive illegalities seemed to have taken place, including serious violation of rules to de-notify agricultural land, allowing the BJP leader's relatives to make a huge windfall when they resold de-notified land at an enormous profit.
