In a relief to former Minister D.K. Shivakumar, the High Court of Karnataka on Monday upheld a Special Court’s 2019 order discharging him from a case concerning alleged evasion of income tax of around ₹13 crore. The case was initiated against him based on financial transactions that he had scribbled on a sheet of paper that he tore during search conducted at a resort on the outskirts of the city during August, 2017.
Justice John Michael Cunha passed the order while dismissing the revision petitions filed by the Income-Tax Department challenging the February 28, 2019 order of the Special Court set up to exclusively to deal with criminal cases against MPs and MLAs in Karnataka.
