A Bengaluru court is expected to hear Siddaramaiah's petition seeking to restrain media organisations from broadcasting videos linked to a purported sting operation.
Siddaramaiah described the circulation of videos on social media as false propaganda intended to damage his reputation after his resignation in May.
Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy alleged that D.K. Shivakumar used the sting operation to force Siddaramaiah out of office, an allegation that Shivakumar rejected.
