In a major blow to Karnataka Chief Minister, the High Court has upheld the sanction to prosecute Siddaramiah in Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) scam.

In his judgement, the court held that that the complainants were justified to seek approvals from the governor. The single judge bench led by Justice M Nagaprasanna also stated that complainants have the right to seek sanction prosecution from governor under Section 17A of Prevention of Corruption Act.
