Judge N K Sudhindra Rao directed Superintendent of Police (Lokayukta), Bangalore Urban, to investigate the complaint and submit his report by December 15.
Former Commissioner of Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) Bharat Lal Meena is among those accused in the complaint filed last month.
Complainant N Nagaraj had charged that Limbavali, when he was the Higher Education Minister in 2009, had favoured DLF company, a private builder, for an unauthorised construction in Hulimavu by giving a direction to the city corporation Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike to widen the road in violation of the Revised Master Plan.
The letter, Nagaraj alleged, was issued by Limbavali on October 21, 2009, in violation of the Karnataka Town Planning Act and the Karnataka Municipalities Act.
The complainant, who is the owner of the adjacent land, claimed he had executed a Joint Development Agreement with one Kiran, who is now no more, for construction of a six-storey building.
After Kiran's death on October 23, 1998, his mother Kasturi came forward to complete the project and therefore Power of Attorney was executed in her name.

Kasturi, who is the eighth accused in the case, executed a relinquishment deed of the complainant's property "without any authority", to favour the private builder, again for pecuniary gain.
And subsequently, the direction was issued by Limbavali, fixing 24 metre for the road in violation of the RMP in which 18 metre was fixed for it, to favour DLF, the complainant alleged.
