New Delhi, July 21 -- The Supreme Court has dismissed a plea filed by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) challenging the Karnataka High Court's decision to set aside the probe against B.M. Parvathi, the wife of Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah, in connection with the alleged irregularities with regard to illegal land allotments by Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA).

A bench of Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai and K. Vinod Chandran refused to entertain ED's plea by orally stating, "Let political battles be fought amongst the electorate. Why are you (ED) being used for it"
