Relief for DKS as HC turns down CBI plea in DA case
The Morning Standard
|August 30, 2024
THE High Court of Karnataka on Thursday dismissed the petitions filed by the CBI and BJP MLA Basanagouda R Patil Yatnal, questioning the Siddaramaiah government's decision to withdraw the previous BJP government's consent to CBI to prosecute Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar in a disproportionate assets (DA) case.

Terming that the petitions are not maintainable, the court granted liberty to the petitioners to approach the Supreme Court for remedy. Since the conflict is between the Union government's authority, which represents the CBI, and the state's autonomy, the SC has to settle it under Article 131 and not the high court, a division bench of Justices K Somashekar and Umesh M Adiga said in their order.
The petitioners challenged the notification issued by the Congress government on November 28, 2023, withdrawing the consent given to the CBI by the previous BJP government to prosecute Shivakumar.
