The Supreme Court has directed that all petitions challenging Karnataka’s withdrawal of consent to probe Deputy CM D K Shivakumar’s disproportionate assets case be heard by Justice Surya Kant-led bench. The CBI and BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal’s pleas are now listed before the new bench.
The Supreme Court Today (Nov 4) adjourned by four weeks the hearing on a plea against the withdrawal of consent to the CBI for probing a DA case against Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar. A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan deferred the matter after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had also filed an appeal against the Karnataka High Court order.
