The SUPREME Court on Monday asked a petitioner to prove he is bonafide for filing a plea challenging a Karnataka High Court order quashing the sanction on prosecution of ex-Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa in connection with denotification of land acquired for the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA).
A bench of Justices J Chelameswar and AM Sapre asked advocate Sirajin Basha to prove he is bonafide to file the plea as a private party.
Senior advocate Gopal Subramaniam appearing for the petitioner said it was a genuine private party complaint and he will prove it in filing the case.
He said that private party complaint was 'maintainable' and the Karnataka High Court has wrongly quashed the order of then governor HR Bhardwaj's sanction to prosecute Yeddyurappa.
He further said the then governor's order was not discussed by the High Court which referred the matter to the new governor for reconsideration.
