In a setback to the former Karnataka Chief Minister, Mr B.S. Yeddyurappa, the Karnataka High Court has dismissed his anticipatory bail application in connection with alleged irregularities in denotification of land.
Mr Justice L. Narayana Swamy today dismissed the application filed by Mr Yeddyurappa, who had sought bail apprehending arrest.
Mr Yeddyurappa, who was admitted to a private hospital after suffering from high fever, diabetes and hypertension, has to appear before the special Lokayukta court today at 3.30 pm as per its August 27 order.
The Lokayukta court, which exempted Mr Yeddyurappa from personal appearance on health grounds on Saturday last, however, had directed him to appear before it today.
The Lokayukta court on August 8 had issued summons to the former Chief Minister and 14 others on a private complaint filed by advocate, Mr Sirajin Basha, alleging irregularities in denotification of land acquired by the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) and thereby causing loss to the state exchequer.
The High Court had reserved its orders on anticipatory bail plea on August 26.
