The Karnataka High Court will hear the writ petition filed by BJP MLA Basangouda Patil Yatnal, who has challenged the withdrawal of consent for the CBI to probe DK Shivakumar, next on January 5.
Karnataka BJP MLA Basangouda Yatnal had previously filed an impleading application when D K Shivakumar had filed a memo to withdraw his appeal against the previous BJP government’s sanction to the CBI.
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah defended his cabinet's move to withdraw approval for the CBI probe against Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar in a disproportionate assets case.
A Congress MLA has urged party high command to appoint three more Deputy CMs for ‘balancing castes’, which is seen as a bid by CM Siddaramaiah’s camp to checkmate Shivakumar.
Shivakumar had cited various reasons for quashing the case, including the lack of government sanction under Section 17 A of the Prevention of Corruption Act, introduced in 2018, political malice and the prolonged investigation in the case spanning over three years.
