The Supreme Court bench headed by Justice S.H. Kapadia issued the order over the CBI probe against BS Yeddyurappa's alleged role in the mining scam during his tenure as the Karnataka CM.

The court-appointed central empowered committee had recommended a CBI probe against Yeddyurappa. The CEC, in its report, pointed to Yeddy's alleged role in illegal export of iron ore, transfer of some police officers and certain land deals for the benefit of his family.

The SC panel says Yeddyurappa received kickbacks for denotifying land and favoured mining companies for financial gain.
