Court was told today that investigation had commenced without obtaining requisite sanction under Section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act
The Supreme Court today has refused to quash the Central Bureau of Investigation's case against Karnataka's Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar.
A bench of Justices Bela M Trivedi and SC Sharma was hearing a plea filed against the High Court's order refusing to quash the disproportionate assets case against him.
Last year, top court had declined to interfere with the Karnataka High Court's interim order which stayed the order of the state government granting consent to the CBI to probe the case against Shivakumar.
The CBI had registered a case against Shivakumar and his family members alleging disproportionate assets. The FIR stated that during the check period between April 1, 2013 and April 30, 2018, Shivakumar and his family members were in possession of Rs 74.93 crore disproportionate assets, which had not been explained with proper documents.
