The Special Lokayukta Court has extended the judicial custody of former Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa till November 3.

Taking up the hearing in the case on Saturday, the court indicated that it would take up the matter next on November 3.

The court also heard the bail pleas of 21 other accused in the case, which include Yeddyurappa's sons B Raghavendra and B Vijyendra. The court directed them not to leave the country and surrender their passports before the court.

Meanwhile, Yeddyurappa's battle in the high court will continue on Monday.

In another development, the Lokayukta Police has commenced investigations against Home Minister R Ashok.

A complaint has already been filed by the police in connection with a case where he denotified lands measuring 9 and 14 acres.

Ashok is faced with mounting pressure to quit his ministry, but has refused to do so stating that he would fight it out legally.

Chief Minister Sadananda Gowda, who has been mum on the issue, is in New Delhi to hold discussions with the central leadership.
