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.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has moved the Supreme Court challenging the Karnataka government’s withdrawal of consent to investigate a disproportionate assets case against Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar. The Karnataka cabinet’s decision reverses the previous BJP government’s sanction for the CBI to probe the case.
