Adding another twist to the proceedings against Karnataka Chief Minsiter B S Yeddyurappa, his son-in-law Suhan Kumar has filed an application seeking the stalling of the proceedings in the land scam case.

The special court, which is hearing the complaints filed by advocates Sirajin Bhasha and K N Balakrishna, has directed Kumar to file his objections by January 31 when the case comes up next for hearing.

who is also a party to the proceedings, said in his application that the matter cannot go on without him being heard.

C H Hanumantharaya, counsel for the two complainants argued that this case was between a private party and the court and hence such an application could not be entertained.

The court, however, said that he would be given a chance and permitted him to file his objections. The matter will come up next on January 31.
