The Karnataka high court disposed of the writ petition and writ appeal filed by DK Shivakumar challenging the consent granted by the state government to the CBI for investigating a disproportionate assets case against him. Shivakumar submitted a memo for withdrawal based on a government order withdrawing the consent. The court declined to discuss the merits of the withdrawal, stating that there is no challenge to the withdrawal of consent. The CBI had objections to the withdrawal of the writ petition, but the agency had no objection to the withdrawal of the writ appeal.https://ift.tt/arkK3sf
