Siddaramaiah gets temporary respite as HC restrains trial court from a decision till August 29

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah received temporary relief from the Karnataka High Court as a lower court in Bengaluru was restrained from deciding on a complaint against him until August 29. The complaint alleges his family received valuable property in exchange for land deals. Siddaramaiah challenged the Governor's order permitting his prosecution, arguing it violated natural justice. He called for a Congress Legislature Party meeting to address the crisis.
