Gireesh in his petition alleged that the mineral sand mining company got an undue advantage, special rights and consideration from the government by doling out a huge amount as a bribe.
He said four of the opposing parties named in the petition were members of the Legislative Assembly.
The petitioner demanded that a case be registered and an investigation be conducted under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
