The cases were related to violation of model code and electoral malpractices in the districts of Bellary, Raichur and Uddupy.
The CEC made specific reference to Tourism Minister Sri Ramullu, who is close to the infamous Reddy brothers who are running their mining business in Bellary.
The decision to withdraw the cases was taken despite opposition from the state DGP. The took the decision citing lack of evidence.
The CEC has said such moves will encourage electoral malpractices and violations of the model code of conduct in the future.
