The top court was hearing a plea filed by Shivakumar against the October 19, 2023 order of the high court which rejected his plea.
The HC also directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to conclude the investigation and file the report within three months.
The CBI has alleged that Shivakumar amassed assets disproportionate to his known sources of income between 2013 and 2018. He was a minister in the previous Congress government during this period.
The FIR was filed by the CBI on September 3, 2020. Shivakumar challenged the FIR in the high court in 2021.
