In an alleged corruption case related to land denotification the High Court of Karnataka stayed for four weeks further proceedings against Siddaramaiah.
The summons was issued on August 23, directing Siddaramaiah to appear before the special court.
The case dates back to 1997, when Siddaramaiah was the deputy chief minister in JH Patel government.
In the complaint, filed by N. Gangaraju, a Mysuru-based advocate, in 1997 Siddaramaiah was accused of denotification of 30 guntas of acquired land within three weeks.
Later he purchased 10 acres of the denotified land and sold that property.
