India, March 14 -- The Karnataka High Court has temporarily stayed the order issued by a Bengaluru court that had taken cognizance of a case against former Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa and summoned him to appear before the trial court on March 15. The case involves allegations under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

Previously, a local court had directed Yediyurappa, a senior BJP leader and former Karnataka CM, to present himself in connection with the POCSO case.

Mariswami-requiring them to appear on the same date.
