Unraveling the MUDA Case: Alleged Land Scam Involving Karnataka CM's Wife

The MUDA case involves allegations against Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah and his wife Parvathi regarding compensatory site allotments in Mysuru. Questions arose about land ownership and legality of transactions. Amid controversies and a probe sanctioned by the Governor, the High Court dismissed Siddaramaiah’s challenge against the investigation approval.

The Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) case, which recently saw the Karnataka Governor sanction an investigation against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, dates back over thirty years.

The case revolves around alleged compensatory site allotments to Siddaramaiah's wife, B M Parvathi, in a high-value area of Mysuru, replacing her lesser-valued land supposedly acquired by MUDA.

Allegations claim Parvathi lacked legal rights over the original land parcel. Questions also lingered over subsequent land transactions and the formation of the Devanur Layout. As controversies emerged, a High Court judge dismissed Siddaramaiah's petition challenging the Governor's investigation approval.
