High Court Cancels ED Summons, Giving Major Relief to CM Siddaramaiah’s Wife in MUDA Case:

In a significant development, the Karnataka High Court has canceled the Enforcement Directorate (ED) summons issued to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s wife in connection with the MUDA (Mysuru Urban Development Authority) case. This decision comes as a major relief for the CM’s family, reducing legal pressure in the ongoing investigation.

Background of the MUDA Case

The case revolves around alleged irregularities in land allotments under the Mysuru Urban Development Authority.
ED had summoned Siddaramaiah’s wife as part of its inquiry into financial transactions linked to the case.
The investigation focused on suspected violations of financial regulations and land-related dealings.

High Court’s Decision

The Karnataka High Court reviewed the legality of the summons and found insufficient grounds for compelling her appearance.
The court ruled in favor of canceling the ED notice, citing procedural lapses or lack of substantial evidence.
This verdict provides relief to the CM’s family, removing immediate legal complications.

Political and Legal Implications

Political Relief: The ruling is a win for Siddaramaiah, who has faced political opposition over the case.
Impact on ED Investigation: The cancellation of summons may slow down certain aspects of the probe but does not close the case entirely.
Opposition’s Reaction: Political rivals may continue to raise questions regarding the MUDA land dealings despite the court’s decision.
