BS Yediyurappa plea hearing adjourned

Karnataka High Court on Thursday adjourned the hearing of former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa’s plea seeking to quash a case against him for the alleged harassment of a minor to September 27.

Yediyurappa had filed a petition in the High Court seeking to quash a case registered against him under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act in March.

Earlier, Justice M Naga Prasanna heard the POCSO case against Yediyurappa along with the petitions filed by him seeking grant of anticipatory bail.

A bench headed by Naga Prasanna had also issued an order extending the exemption granted to BS Yediyurappa not to be arrested and to attend the hearing.
