In another set back to Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa, the Karnataka High Court has given the green signal for the Lokayukta court to go ahead with the proceedings against the Chief Minister.

The High Court while dismissing a petitition seeking quashing of procedings against the CM stated that there was no discrepancy in the order of the Lokayukta court.

The petitioner had moved the court after the Governor had accorded sanction to prosecute the CM. The court had stayed proceedings against the CM when the matter had come up for hearing the first time.
