Bengaluru; A Lokayukta Special Court yesterday rejected an anticipatory bail application filed by former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy in an illegal mining case.
Lokayukta Special Court Judge Gopal observed that anticipatory bail cannot be granted as the allegations against the accused amount to economical offence, considering the verdicts of the Supreme Court in similar cases. Fearing arrest, Kumaraswamy quickly moved the Karnataka High Court seeking anticipatory bail.
