The advocate had filed five complaints against the former chief minister and his family. Each of the complaints listed three instances, mostly related to illegal denotification of land done when he was the chief minister for financial gains.
The first of these cases had been handed over to the Lokayukta police for investigation after taking cognisance.
The inquiry report that runs into more than 1,800 pages was submitted to the Special Lokayukta Court on October 4.
The complaint also lists Yeddyurappa’s two sons B Y Vijayendra and B Y Raghavendra, his son-in-law R N Sohan Kumar and S N Krishnaiah Setty as accused.
Evidence
On Monday, DySP of Lokayukta, Abdul Ahad informed the Court that out of the three instances, there was a lot of evidence to suggest that Yeddyurappa and his family had gained from the denotification in two of the instances. In the third instance, though there was no evidence to show that Yeddyurappa’s family had gained, there were instances of irregularities benefiting other people.
These leads could be investigated further if the Court gave permission, Ahad submitted. However, Judge N K Sudhindra Rao deemed it unnecessary as it was a private complaint and there was no need to extend the investigation as the scope was limited only to the complaint averments.
In the first two instances related to illegal withdrawal from acquisition of lands at Rachenahalli survey number 55/2 and survey number 56, the Lokayukta police have found evidence to substantiate claims that the illegal denotification indeed benefited Davalagiri Properties, run by Yeddyurappa’s two sons and son-in-law.
Both these pieces of land had been acquired by the Bangalore Development Authority for the formation of Arkavathy Layout. Evidence has also been found of Krishnaiah Setty committing forgery in these two cases.
In the third instance concerning amalgamation of land in Vyalikaval House Building Cooperative Society in Nagawara Layout, no evidence has been found of any financial gain to Yeddyurappa and his family.
