Karnataka High Court stays suspension of BBMP chief engineer K.T. Nagaraj

Bengaluru: The High Court of Karnataka on Thursday stayed for eight weeks the State government's order suspending K.T. Nagaraj, Chief Engineer (Central Projects), Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP).

Justice G. Narendar passed the interim order on a petition filed by Nagaraj, who had questioned the validity of the March 31, 2017 order.

The petitioner was suspended after the State's Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) registered a First Information Report (FIR) accusing him of possessing assets allegedly disproportionate to his known sources of income.
