HC stays ED notice to Siddaramaiah’s wife, minister in MUDA land scam
The Karnataka High Court on Monday stayed the notice issued by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to CM Siddaramaiah’s wife Parvathi BM and the state Urban Development Minister Byrathi Suresh to appear for questioning in connection with the MUDA land allotment scam.
The ED has issued summons to Parvathi to appear before the investigation officer on Tuesday, while Suresh was asked to depose on Monday.
It is alleged that compensatory sites were allotted to Siddaramaiah’s wife in an upmarket area in Mysuru, which had higher property value as compared to the location of her land which had been “acquired” by the Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA).
It is alleged Parvathi had no legal title over 3.16 acres of land at survey number 464 of Kasare village. The Lokayukta and the ED are probing the matter simultaneously.
