A local court on monday issued summons to Tamil Nadu Governor K Rosaiah in connection with a case related to denotification of a government land in favour of some private parties. He was asked to appear before the anti-corruption bureau court here on August 2. The former Andhra Pradesh chief minister was among the 13 accused in the case, related to denotification of 9.14 acres of prime land at Ameerpet in Hyderabad in 2010.

The land was originally in possession of the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority. An advocate Mohan Lal filed a case in the ACB court in December 2010 alleging that as chief minister, Rosaiah approved the denotification of the prime land in favour of some private parties and caused a loss of Rs 200 crore to the state exchequer.
