New Delhi, March 7 -- Karnataka High Court on Friday quashed Enforcement Directorate's summons to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's wife Parvathi and and Urban Development Minister Byrathi Suresh issued in connection with the MUDA land allotment scam.

Parvathi and Suresh had filed a petition before the court seeking to quash the Enforcement Directorate (ED) summons.

On January 27, the High Court had stayed the ED's notice directing Parvathi and Minister Suresh to appear for questioning in the site allotment case.

During the hearing, senior advocate Sandesh J Chouta, representing Parvathi, argued that she had already surrendered the sites in question and had never benefited from any alleged illegal proceeds.
