The Supreme Court of Karnataka has rejected a petition that was submitted by Munirathna, MLA, who had questioned the legality of a criminal case against him for alleged threatening and demanded from £ 30 Lakh of person who has a contract with the Brhat Bengaluru Palike for waste.

Justice M. Nagaprasanna refused to accept the statement that it was assumed on behalf of Mr Munirathan that the first information report (FIR) that was registered in September 2024 was delayed because the allegations were related to 2019.

On behalf of the other statement on behalf of Mr Munirathna, that special investigation team (SIT) of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) had no legal holiness to perform the probe because it contained officers from outside the CID, the court said that the SIT had no legal error because it was led by the additional director-general of the police).

The court also said that only because a government command, which forms the SIT of the CID, has a clause that would ask the government’s submission to the government would not mean that the probe would be affected because the CID has already been declared a police station that it is able to submit research reports for the jurisdictive court.

Cheluvaraju, the contractor, had claimed that Mr. Munirathna had threatened, abused and humiliated and used Caste met while demanding the bribery. Among other things, the complainant contractor has cited a recorded telephone interview in the complaint.
