BANGALORE: The high court has reserved its verdict on the criminal petition filed by external affairs minister SM Krishna. Justice N Ananda on Wednesday reserved the verdict after hearing all parties concerned for 10 hours in the past two days. The judge also extended the stay granted in Krishna's favour until further orders. Krishna had challenged the special Lokayukta court's December 3 order directing Lokayukta police to investigate the private complaint lodged by TJ Abraham. Abraham alleged that Krishna, during his tenure as Karnataka chief minister, had de-reserved forest lands to help mining companies. |
