Karnataka High Court Directs Trial Court To Defer All Proceedings Against CM Siddaramaiah In MUDA Case Till Challenge Is Heard By HC

The Karnataka High Court directed that the trial court should not act on the Governor's sanction to prosecute Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in the Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) case until the High Court hears the CM's challenge against the sanction. The court's order temporarily halts proceedings based on the Governor's sanction, allowing Siddaramaiah to contest the validity of the sanction in higher courts before any trial can proceed.
