Mangalore Today News Network

Yeddy 1Bangalore, Aug 29, 2011:  BS Yeddyurappa’s attempt to get anticipatory bail in a case of corruption has been rejected by the Karnataka High Court. He has been accused of illegally denotifying land that had been reserved for projects of public interest.

Mr Yeddyurappra was forced to resign as Chief Minister of Karnataka on July 31 when a report on mining declared him guilty of accepting kickbacks from companies who were given mining licenses.

Mr Yeddyurappa faces a catalogue of corruption cases. His prosecution under the Prevention of Corruption Act  -on criminal charges  - has been sanctioned by the Governor, HR Bhardwaj.

Mr Yeddyurappa is currently in a Bangalore hospital. He is meant to appear in a Lokayukta court this afternoon. The mining report that ended his term as head of the BJP government in Karnataka was prepared by Justice Santosh Hedge, who recently retired as the Lokayukta or ombudsman.
