Bench expresses shock over Karnataka Housing Board violating provisions of law governing allotment of CA sites
The High Court of Karnataka on Thursday quashed an absolute sale deed registered in violation of rules by the Karnataka Housing Board (KHB) in respect of a civic amenities (CA) site in the city in favour of a trust managed by the wife of Lok Sabha member Umesh G. Jadhav.
While directing the KHB to take possession of the site, the court directed the State government to conduct an inquiry on how officials executed an absolute sale deed in favour the trust on July 28, 2020 when the law permits execution of only lease deed in respect of CA sites.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
