"yediyurappa"

The bench headed by Pradeep Singh Yerur passed the order on Friday while considering Yediyurappa's petition to quash the charge sheet filed against him. The court observed that a comprehensive investigation was needed in the case and, accordingly, stayed both the summons and the court's cognizance of the matter

The incident occurred on February 2, when the girl accused Yediyurappa of assaulting her.

Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, who is state Congress president, had alleged that the cash and jewellery seized belonged to the BJP and the JD(S).

The Lingayats considered to be the highest population were shown as the third largest group and Vokkaligas who were in second position got the fourth position.

Speaking to reporters at Bengaluru International Airport after arriving from New Delhi, Yediyurappa said that the meeting discussed the success of G20 Summit.

The decision on seat-sharing is left to the central leaders, he said adding that he neither has any say in this matter nor will offer any suggestion.

Abraham also said that he would try to get the restoration of his petition after convincing the Special Court to proceed to order an investigation Under Section 156 (3)A of CrPc.

He said that he has submitted his resignation to the governor and the latter has asked him to continue as Interim chief minister until his successor is announced.

His announcement came at a special event organised to present the government's report card on the occasion of the completion of two years of the BJP-led state government.

Yediyurappa's demand for two months time to contemplate stepping down, has been categorically rejected by the BJP high command, they added.

Speculations have been rife for some time now that a section of the ruling BJP is trying to push for unseating Yediyurappa.

Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa in response to a question from reporters about the possibility of imposing a night curfew said "..there is no such plans for now."

The Cabinet expansion may take more time as the Chief Minister has not received any message and approval from the high command leaders.

Yediyurappa said heavy rains and floods have caused inundation in several villages in Kalaburagi and Vijayapura districts, damaging crops and houses.

A total of 111 villages in four districts have been affected by the floods, caused by heavy rains and water released by the dams in neighbouring Maharashtra.
