A local court today adjourned till tomorrow hearing on a complaint filed against Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa and others over allegations of corruption.
Additional City Civil and Session Court Judge C B Hippargi directed the petitioners to file their objections on an application moved by Sohan Kumar, son-in-law of Mr. Yeddyurappa, seeking a stay on the proceedings on the ground that the matter was under investigations by the Lokayukta.

Mr. Basha and another advocate Balaraj have filed five complaints against Mr. Yeddyurappa, his sons B Y Vijendra and B Y Rahavendra, MP and others after Governor H R Bhardwaj gave consent to prosecute them.
The complaints pertain to 15 alleged instances of irregularities in denotification and allotment of land by Mr. Yeddyurappa.
