Supreme Court Dismisses CBI's Plea Against HC Stay On Probe Against Karnataka Dy CM DK Shivakumar; Leaves Matter Open To Be Decided By HC

Live Law  

The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a petition filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation challenging the Karnataka High Court temporarily staying a probe by the central agency against Karnataka deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar in a corruption case arising out of allegations regarding disproportionate assets. A bench of Justices BR Gavai, CT Ravikumar, and Sanjay Kumar was hearing a plea assailing an interim order passed by a single-judge bench of the Karnataka High Court staying proceedings by the central agency against the Indian National Congress leader. All questions available to parties are kept open for adjudication by the high court.” When ASG Raju requested the apex court to urge the Karnataka High Court to decide Shivakumar’s appeal expeditiously, the bench added to its order, “The petitioner would be at liberty to request the high court for expeditious disposal which shall be considered by the high court on its own merits.” Background The interim stay order challenged in the Supreme Court arose in a Rs 74 crore disproportionate assets case against DK Shivakumar, in which the Central Bureau of Investigation had initiated an investigation in September 2019 after receiving sanction from the then BS Yediyurappa-led government. In April, Justice K Natarajan of the Karnataka High Court ultimately dismissed Shivakumar’s plea leading to the legislator filing an appeal before a division bench of the high court.
