MUDA scam: K'taka HC posts CM Siddaramaiah's petition for August 29, asks trial court to defer all proceedings

The Karnataka High Court directed the trial court to halt proceedings in the MUDA case involving Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, due to doubts over the Governor's sanction. Siddaramaiah's urgent petition claims political motives in the sanction. The MUDA scam alleges illegal land dealings benefiting Siddaramaiah's wife. Siddaramaiah denies wrongdoing and enjoys support from his Cabinet amid calls for resignation. The case is set for further hearing on August 29.
