BJP MLA Yatnal moves HC against Karnataka Cabinet's decision to withdraw CBI's sanction to investigate DK Shivakumar's disproportionate assets case. Alleges the decision is malafide and aimed at interfering with the pending judicial proceedings. Application to be heard on Nov 30.
Basanagouda Patil Yatnal, BJP MLA, on Tuesday moved the High Court of Karnataka alleging that the State Cabinet’s decision to withdraw the sanction/consent granted to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in 2019 to investigate ₹74.93-crore disproportionate assets case against Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar is “aimed at interfering the pending judicial proceeding”.
The application was filed before a Division Bench which is hearing an appeal filed by Mr. Shivakumar, who had questioned the single judge’s April 2023 order upholding the legality of sanction/consent granted to the CBI on September 25, 2019. The application is posted for hearing on November 30 along with Mr. Shivakumar’s appeal. The apex court had recently asked the Division Bench to decide on the appeal in two weeks.
The All-India level NEET examination was started a few years ago to counter complaints of corruption during the joint entrance examinations held at the State level. AIDSO had warned the authorities that the solution to the menace of corruption was not changing the examination system, but to investigate the corruption and punish the guilty.
