The Supreme Court on Monday upheld the Karnataka High Court order, which granted an interim stay on probe against Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president D.K. Shivakumar by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in a disproportionate assets case.
The Bench led by Justice B.R. Gavai refused to entertain the petition filed by the investigating agency against the High Court verdict on the grounds that the present SLP arose purely out of an interlocutory order.
However, the Apex Court kept all the questions available to the parties open and granted liberty to the petitioner to approach the High Court for expeditious disposal of the case.
The top court of the country further directed the High Court to consider the matter on its merits.
