Bengaluru, Sept 19: BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa submitted to the high court on Monday that there are more than 32 complaints pending before the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) filed against the chief minister and other ministers, where the FIR has not been filed since the sanction to prosecution has not been granted.

However, in his case, without prior sanction from the appointing authority, an FIR was filed violating the conditions of the ACB notification, which seeks sanction from the appropriate authority before filing the FIR.

Senior counsel C V Nagesh, appearing for Yeddyurappa, said there have been cases filed against the chief minister and the ministers with regard to the Hublot watch controversy, the Arkavathi Layout denotification, liquor licences, issuing of tenders among others. He said there is unwarranted harassment and, allegations and frivolous complaints were filed before the ACB. Nagesh said there is a legal bar on registration of the FIR itself.

Senior counsel Ravivarma Kumar, appearing for ACB, took exception, stating that Nagesh was making endless submission, going beyond the scope of the case. Nagesh said he was only arguing his interim prayer. Justice Aravind Kumar, who is hearing the petition for the past two weeks, said on a lighter note, if there was anything left to be heard in the main prayer.

The counsel were making their submissions in a petition filed by Yeddyurappa, seeking directions to quash two FIRs filed by the ACB. Two FIRs were filed against him in the case of ‘fake-denotification’ of 257 acres of land, part of the Shivaram Karanth Layout in Bengaluru North. ACB sought more time to make its submission. The judge adjourned the hearing to Wednesday.

Madikeri, Aug 7: Two days after massive landslides triggered by heavy downpour in Kodagu, five people including a priest are still missing. 

The landslide, which originating at Brahmagiri Hills in Talacauvery, swept away two houses on Wednesday night.

This missing people are: Talacauvery temple chief Narayana Achar (70), his wife Shantha (70), brother Ananda Theertha Swami (87) and two assistants — Ravi Kiran (26) and Srinivas (30). Achar’s neighbour had shifted out of Bhagamandala earlier, fearing a landslide. 

The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) had to stop rescue operations due to bad weather. The operations resumed today. 

“There are many minor landslides on the way to the spot,” said Kodagu Deputy Commissioner C Annies K Joy, adding that the flood situation at Bhagamandala was not permitting earthmovers to reach the spot. Heavy rain between Wednesday and Thursday triggered landslides. 

Bhagamandala Panchayat Development Officer Ashok said a notice was issued to the priest’s family to shift out of the house, but they chose to stay back. 

On Thursday morning, when the Talacauvery temple staff went to check on Narayana Achar, as he had not reached the temple for the daily puja, they found levelled land and debris where Achar’s house stood. Utensils, puja material and clothes were found nearly 2 km away at Cherangala. 

As rains continued over the last few days, many rivers are flowing above the danger levels, forcing people to move to safer places.

 Responding to the situation, which is turning grimmer by the day, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, who is currently undergoing treatment in a private hospital after testing positive for Covid-19, directed ministers to visit rain-hit areas and supervise relief efforts. He has also assured of providing required financial assistance for those affected.
