Mysuru: In the latest development in the ‘dead wife found alive’ case, Suresh — who was previously accused of murdering his wife Mallige but later acquitted by the 5th Additional District and Sessions Court after she was found alive with her paramour in a Madikeri hotel — has moved the High Court of Karnataka challenging certain orders passed by the Mysuru Court.
