Bengaluru Court Clears Gali Janardhan Reddy in Iron Ore Cases, Dropping Charges
A Special Court for MPs and MLAs in Bengaluru has discharged Gangavati MLA and former Karnataka minister Gali Janardhan Reddy, along with several others, from two cases related to alleged illegal iron ore transportation. The court's decision came after reviewing petitions from the accused, who sought to be discharged from the proceedings. The prosecution had alleged that the accused were involved in unauthorized mining activities and had illegally transported and sold iron ore without necessary approvals, resulting in significant revenue loss to the state. However, the court found insufficient evidence to proceed with the trial, leading to the dismissal of charges against Reddy and others, including Mehfooz Ali Khan and several industrialists.
