On Oct 1, the High Court of Karnataka issued notice to an Ex-Judge of the Court, after a plea was filed against her for allegedly paying a bribe amount of ₹8.50 crore to a person to get the governor’s post.
While hearing a plea filed by Lawyer NP Amrutesh, a single-Judge bench of Justice Krishna S Dixit issued the notice.
It said that “Office objections are overruled. Learned AGA is requested to accept notice to the respondent. Issue emergent notice to respondent No 4 (BS Indrakala)".
The case came to light when a person identified as Yuvaraj Swami was arrested in Dec 2020 by Bengaluru police for allegedly cheating several people of crores of rupees by promising them high positions.
Following his arrest, the former HC Judge B.S. Indrakala filed a complaint with the police saying she had paid sums of ₹3.7 crores and ₹4.5 crores on 2 different occasions to Yuvaraj. The payments were made after Yuvaraj had promised the governor’s post. She also named another person in the complaint in the scam. However, it was the former Judge’s claim that Yuvaraj did not secure her a post as promised nor did he return the money that was paid to him for securing the said post.
Following this, the petitioner, Lawyer NP Amrutesh, on Dec 21, 2020, filed a complaint with the police where he highlighted the involvement of the former judge in the bribing scandal.
On Friday, the Bench had said that “As the complicity of the Respondent No.4 (former judge) was forthcoming in the said FIR & also various newspaper reports, the petitioner submitted a representation dated January 16, 2021, to the police narrating in detail the involvement of Respondent No.4 & that the allegations made in her written information, dated December 21, 2020, incriminate her & as such request police to investigate the same & take necessary action".
