The information provided states that G. Mariswamy was named as one of the accused in a POCSO-related case involving former Karnataka Chief Minister B. S. Yediyurappa and other co-accused.

The CID's 2024 chargesheet reportedly alleged offences under Sections 204 and 214 of the IPC against Mariswamy and the other co-accused.

In February 2025, the Karnataka High Court partly allowed a petition filed by Mariswamy and other co-accused. The information provided states that the earlier order taking cognizance was set aside and the matter was remitted to the trial court for appropriate orders, without terminating the underlying crime, investigation or final report.

The information further states that in November 2025, the Karnataka High Court refused to quash the case against Yediyurappa and the other accused, allowing the proceedings to continue.

These are legal proceedings and allegations, not findings of guilt. The information should be read in the context of the relevant court proceedings and official records.
