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.
When proceedings commenced this afternoon, the CM's son-in-law,
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.
