BANGALORE: The High Court on Friday adjourned another anticipatory bail by former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa in respect of private compliant filed by JD (S) leader Y S V Datta alleging of irregularities committed in allotting of tenders in Upper Bhadra Project, to September 15.Counsel for Yeddyurappa told Justice L Narayana Swamy that a division bench had held that the contract was “lawfully given” and sought time to place a copy of the judgment before him.The judge then adjourned to September 15 hearing on the anticipatory bail plea.The JD(S) leader had made the accusation that the award of works to the project was given to the highest bidder, a private firm RNS Jyothi, at Rs. 1,033 crore, contrary to the norm, as in a government project it is the lowest bidder who gets the contract.In a quid-pro-quo gesture, RNS Jyothi transferred Rs. 13 crore to Davalagiri Developers and Sahyadri Healthcare, owned by Yeddyurappa’s sons and son-in-law, he alleged.
