Appeal Against Order
The Karnataka High Court has stayed the arrest of BJP leader and former Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa in connection with a case under the POCSO Act. Justice S Krishna Dixit questioned the need for immediate arrest, noting Yediyurappa's status and age. \r
The court dismissed the state's claim that Yediyurappa evaded notice by flying to Delhi after it was issued, stating the ticket was booked after receiving the notice. The court emphasized Yediyurappa's willingness to cooperate, citing his commitment to appear before the investigating officer on June 17. \r
It ordered no coercive action until the next hearing, expressing doubts over the issuance of the arrest warrant and questioning the complainant's credibility in the case.
