The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday stayed the FIR against two Enforcement Directorate officials investigating the multi-crore scam at the Karnataka Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation Ltd. Justice M Nagaprasanna ordered the stay, citing potential abuse of law against the officers performing their duties. Justice Nagaprasanna emphasised that allowing such investigations could deter officers from performing their duties.
