Patil told the reporters on Thursday that the commission’s probe has given a clean chit to the CM and his family.
“A one-man commission headed by Justice PN Desai had been constituted, which has submitted its report in two parts. It has clarified that the allegations made against the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his family members are baseless in connection with the MUDA case,” he said.
He further added that the report has also suggested actions against some officials, and the report has been accepted by the government.
In 2021, it was alleged that 14 plots in the Vijayanagara area of Mysuru by MUDA were allotted to Siddaramaiah’s wife.
“In respect of utilisation of de-notified land in survey number 464 of Kesare village, though the land owner insisted on alternative un-developed land as compensation and although the resolution was also passed in 2017, the same has not been implemented. Subsequently, in 2022, sites were allotted in the ratio of 50:50 as per one of the modes of payment adopted in the same manner as allotted to others,” said the report of the probe.
“The allotment of sites as compensation to the land owners whose lands were de-notified but utilized by Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) pertaining to lands in survey number 115/22 and 115/42 of Kergalli village and the land in survey number 464 of Kesare village cannot be said to be illegal,” it added.
