<h1>Chief Minister and spouse's land allocation case notices quashed by Supreme Court under 50:50 scheme</h1> The Supreme Court upheld a Karnataka High Court judgment quashing Enforcement Directorate notices in a land allocation case involving the state's Chief Minister and his spouse. The case centers on alleged irregularities where compensatory plots were allotted under a controversial 50:50 scheme by the urban development authority. The authority allocated developed land in an upmarket area with higher property values in exchange for undeveloped land that was allegedly acquired without proper legal title. The scheme provided land losers with 50 percent of developed land in lieu of undeveloped land acquired for residential layouts. Both the Lokayukta and ED were investigating the matter under money laundering provisions. The Supreme Court dismissed the ED's special leave petitions challenging the High Court's decision, with the court cautioning against politicizing the matter and stating that political battles should be fought before the electorate.
