Bengaluru, Oct 26: In a huge relief to senior BJP leader and former Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa, a special CBI court here today acquitted him along with his two sons and son-in-law in a Rs 40 crore illegal mining case.

In a judgement delivered at a packed court hall, Judge R B Dharmagouder also exonerated nine other accused in the kickback case which had cost Yeddyurappa his Chief Ministership in 2011 following indictment by the then Lok Ayukta Santosh Hegde.

CBI had filed a chargesheet in October 2015 against Yeddyurappa, his sons B Y Raghavendra and B Y Vijayendra and son-in-law Sohan Kumar, a Bellary-based private steel company and a Shimoga based Trust run by the family of Yeddyurappa for alleged abuse of official position and corruption.

The case also saw Yeddyurappa spend about three weeks in jail in October 2011 in connection with the case before he was granted bail.

The accused had been charged with criminal conspiracy, cheating, forgery and corruption, according to the CBI chargesheet which had alleged involvement of Rs.40 crore kickbacks, including Rs 20 crore that was allegedly paid to a trust run by the Yeddyurappa's family, for granting favours, including mining licenses, during his chief ministership.

"Satyameva Jayathe. Justice is done. I stand vindicated," a relieved Yeddyurappa tweeted shortly after the verdict.

"I am happy that false allegations and politically motivated charges have been dismissed," the state BJP strongman, who has returned as the state BJP chief earlier this year, told reporters.

He said the court verdict had come as a relief to lakhs of BJP workers and gave a "new fillip" to him to bring back the party to power in the next Assembly polls in Karnataka.

Kallanige tatkaalika nemmadi (Weekness of Judiciary system)

God knows, about the justice system. we cant speculate unless we have proof.

Any way there is another Supreme court and Chief Justice of All universities.

The real justice, judgment comes from there. Don't worry, everyone will get fair justice from there. No need of any lawyer, no need for lawyer fees.

Nobody, no lawyers can escape. Justice will come there, if innocent still justice is available, if convicted there, no escape from the punishment.

May God help us.

When Geroge was acquitted, Sanghis were like -\No faith in Justice system, no faith in humans...\"

Now when Yediyurappa is acquitted - \" Respect court decision.. [?]\""

Modi Government in centre....

Modi ke chamcho ko sab clean chit mil raha hai pehle salman khan aaj yeddy kal koi reddy....

Bureau of investigation\ now its \"Cheddi Bureau of investigation\""
