HC relief for Yeddyurappa disappointing: Hegde

March 07, 2012 19:15

While B S Yeddyurappa and his followers rejoiced after getting relief from the Karnataka high court on the mining report, Justice Santhosh Hegde -- the man who prepared the report -- said he was disappointed.

Justice Hegde told rediff.com's Vicky Nanjappa that he was told that the high court in its judgment said that he violated the principles of natural justice in his report on illegal mining.

"This is their view and it can now only be challenged in the Supreme Court. My major grievance is that the high court has stopped all investigations into illegal mining.' "The high court has also said that investigating into Yeddyurappa's dealings with a mining company is out of my jurisdiction, I do not agree with this," Hegde added.
