Bengaluru: Subsequent to the Karnataka Government withdrawing consent accorded to the CBI to prosecute Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar (DKS) in the disproportionate assets case, the High Court this morning permitted Shivakumar to withdraw his petition and appeal challenging the consent to prosecute him given to the CBI.
The Court allowed Shivakumar to file a memo seeking to withdraw the appeal filed by him challenging the earlier order. The Single Judge Bench had refused to quash the sanction granted by the previous BJP Government to the CBI to prosecute him.
