BENGALURU: In a big relief for deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar, the high court on Monday granted an interim stay on consent granted by the government to the CBI to proceed against him in a disproportionate assets case. A division bench headed by Chief Justice Prasanna B Varale passed the order after hearing a writ appeal filed by Shivakumar, also state Congress president. In April this year, a single bench had dismissed a petition filed by Shivakumar challenging a September 25, 2019, order issued by the then BS Yediyurappa government. The stay regrading an FIR registered by CBI on October 3, 2020, in relation to consent given by the government is continuing as the FIR has been challenged in a separate petition and a verdict is pending. Shivakumar argued that the decision of a co-ordinate bench in dismissing a petition filed by Shashikumar Shivanna, a close relative of his, challenging the same consent order will not have any bearing upon him as he (Shashi Kumar) was a HAL employee. It may be recalled that while dismissing the petition filed by Shivanna, a co-ordinate bench of the high court had observed that when a state government accords consent for a probe by CBI under the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act,1946, it is only an administrative order and does not require enormous rejigging. It was also pointed out that being a central government employee, Shashikumar had no locus standi in the issue.

'I sacrificed for the party's interest' Karnataka Pradesh Congress chief Labelled Congress' 'trouble-shooter', Shivakumar is set to take oath as Karnataka's Deputy CM on 20 May. Three factors went in Siddaramaiah's favour: • Seniority - Siddaramaiah is 75, while Shivakumar is 62. • Control over a sizable part of the Congress' base among OBC, Dalit and minority voters • The fact that the party didn't have any thing respectable to give Siddaramaiah had they gone with Shivakumar. Being a former CM, Siddaramaiah couldn't have been expected to become deputy CM and there's nothing they could have given him nationally. But what next for Shivakumar? What were the concerns he expressed to the party leadership? Why did he give in eventually? We'll try and answer these questions in this piece. Shivakumar had cited the hard work he had put in for the party as the Karnataka PCC chief since he took over in 2020. A year earlier, the Congress had suffered a humiliating debacle in the Lok Sabha elections, winning just one seat out of 28 that too being Shivakumar's own brother DK Suresh from Bengaluru Rural. Shivakumar has also faced raids from several agencies. Not just him, the firm hired by him - Designboxed - also had to face raids. The Shivakumar camp has also been alleging that Siddaramaiah in comparison is not an organisation man and doesn't contribute to the party as much. Shivakumar expressed his reluctance to take over as Deputy chief minister as the position itself doesn't hold m...
