BJP MLA approaches Supreme Court to reinstate CBI probe against Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivakumar for disproportionate assets. Karnataka High Court previously dismissed plea, leading to Supreme Court intervention. Justices express concern over High Court decision and issue notice to Karnataka government and Shivakumar. Case involves Centre-State dispute over CBI jurisdiction.
Today, On 29th August, the Karnataka High Court dismissed CBI’s petition to investigate DK Shivakumar, deferring the matter to the Supreme Court due to its Center-State nature. This decision came after the State government withdrew consent for a CBI probe into Shivakumar’s alleged illegal assets. The Court rejected the petitions, citing lack of maintainability.
