CBI seeks more time to file objection in D K Shivakumar case
Bengaluru, Sep 26: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday sought more time before the High Court of Karnataka to file its objections to the petition filed by State Congress president D K Shivakumar challenging an FIR against him in a disproportionate assets case.
The court adjourned the hearing to post-Dasara vacation.
The case originates from the income tax raid on Shivakumar in 2017.
From I-T Department's information to the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the issue subsequently reached the CBI, which sought the Karnataka government's sanction to investigate Shivakumar.
The State government gave the sanction to the CBI on September 25, 2019. After a preliminary enquiry, the CBI filed the FIR on October 3, 2020. Shivakumar has approached the court against this FIR.
The court today asked the CBI if the charge-sheet has been filed by it. The court was informed that the investigation was still under progress.

Deir al-Balah, Nov 1: Israeli airstrikes on Friday killed at least 24 people in northeastern Lebanon, the country's news agency said, raising the death toll from eight there.
It was the latest deadly toll in the area since the conflict between Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah escalated last month.
Israel's military has said that its operation in Lebanon is targeting Hezbollah's military infrastructure.
Lebanon's state National news Agency reported four airstrikes in different villages across country's northeast, saying rescuers were still searching for survivors in Younine, a town in the Bekaa Valley, from the rubble of a targeted house.
Hussein Haj Hassan, a Lebanese lawmaker representing the region in Baalbek-Hermel region, said that 60,000 people have already fled their homes in the area due to Israeli bombardment.
