Bengaluru, Feb 10 (NationPress) The petitioner in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) case, Snehamayi Krishna, announced on Monday that he will not seek to appeal the High Court ruling in the Supreme Court that dismissed the petition for a CBI investigation.
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is identified as the first accused in the MUDA case, with his wife B.M. Parvathi as the second accused and his brother-in-law Mallikarjuna Swamy as the third.
The Karnataka High Court recently nullified the petition aimed at initiating a CBI inquiry into the matter.
The Karnataka Lokayukta and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) are currently investigating the issue.
The Lokayukta has wrapped up its investigation and is expected to present its report to the court on Tuesday.
In his remarks, Snehamayi Krishna said, “I have been frequently asked about the possibility of filing an appeal in the Supreme Court to transfer the MUDA case to the CBI. After thoroughly reviewing the High Court verdict concerning my petition, I took two days to contemplate it. I reassessed the evidence I have, consulted with several of my trusted legal advisors and acquaintances, and reflected on my previous experiences with legal matters before making my choice.”
He continued, “Rather than delaying the process by appealing to the Supreme Court, I have chosen to advance with the case based on the evidence I currently possess and will gather in the future, irrespective of the report from the Lokayukta.”
“I am confident that I can substantiate my claims and ensure that the accused face consequences based on my evidence. With indirect legal support and the possibility to hire lawyers if needed, I have resolved to represent myself (as a party in person), present evidence, argue my case, and validate my accusations in court to ensure prompt punishment for the accused,” stated Krishna.
