BANGALORE: Chief minister B S Yeddyurappa's alleged illegal acts and favouritism helped his family get pecuniary benefits of Rs 189.71 crore and caused the state exchequer a loss of Rs 465.32 crore, governor H R Bhardwaj said in his Janary 21 order while granting sanction to prosecute the CM.
Bharadwaj cited 15 cases but gains in two have not been quantified. One refers to the allotment of a site to the chief minister's son, B Y Raghavendra, which was later returned and another to a denotification favouring home minister R Ashoka. The cases refer to illegal denotification and other favours by the CM.
Two advocates, Sirajin Basha and K N Balaraj of the 'Justice Lawyers' forum had sought Yeddyurappa's prosecution citing these 15 cases.
The governor said: "I have also obtained the official records from the state government and got the veracity of the documents furnished by the petitioners verified. The documents furnished by the petitioners have been verified and found to be genuine. Where government records were not readily available and in respect of others, the petitioners were asked to produce the documents obtained under the RTI Act and certified copies, etc, and they have produced those documents and they have been verified and found to be genuine."
