Bengaluru: The State Government has decided to challenge BJP leader and former Minister Katta Subramanya Naidu’s acquittal by the High Court of Karnataka in the KIADB land scam.
Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs T B Jayachandra on Saturday said that he would ask the government counsel to file a petition in the High Court challenging the acquittal. The High Court on Thursday discharged Naidu from the case for which he was in judicial custody for a few weeks in 2011.
The minister also urged the Centre to challenge the acquittal of State BJP president B S Yeddyurappa by the CBI special court in a mining-related case.
He also said the government would not go back on celebrating Tipu Jayanti on Thursday and the protest by the BJP was uncalled for.
