Aug 29, 2024, 10:20 AM

The Karnataka High Court has dismissed petitions filed by the CBI and BJP MLA Basangouda Patil Yatnal challenging the Karnataka government's decision to withdraw consent for a CBI probe into corruption allegations against Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar. The state government, under DK Shivakumar's leadership, had reversed the previous order from the BS Yediyurappa administration that permitted the CBI investigation into the disproportionate assets case. DK Shivakumar expressed his acceptance of the court's decision, equating it to the will of God. This decision provides relief to Shivakumar amidst ongoing legal scrutiny.
