Bengaluru, Apr 3: In a relief to former chief minister Yeddyurappa, the high court has stayed the proceedings of denotification case in lower court against him.

The complaint states that Yeddyurappa had ordered for deletion of land notified for IT park near Bellandur and Devarabisanahalli when he was the deputy chief minister in 2006.

Vasudeva Reddy, the complainant, had filed the complaint in the Lokayukta special court in 2013 alleging that Yeddyurappa had ordered for denotification of four acres and 30 guntas of land in survey number 49 in Devarabisanahlli and survey numbers 10, 18, 46/1 in Bellandur.

The government had declared the land between Whitefield and Electronics City as IT Corridor during 2000-01. The Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board issued a notification in respect of around 500 acres, and in the final notification in respect of only 434 acres, including the land adjacent to the Ring Road, between Sarjapur Road and Marathahalli which include Bellandur, Devarabisanahalli, Kadabisanahalli and Kariammana Agrahara villages.
