New Delhi:
Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa today caught a reprieve from the Supreme Court as a 10-year-old case against him involving an alleged land scam has been put on hold.
Mr Yediyurappa is accused of a role in the alleged illegal allotment of 24 acres of government land to private individuals at a huge loss to the taxpayer.
The Karnataka High Court had asked a special court to take note of the allegations and proceed on the basis of a charge sheet filed by the Lokayukta in 2012.
The Supreme Court today put the High Court order on hold.
