SC to Hear Shivakumar DA Case; Justice Kant to Preside
The Supreme Court will revisit a case about whether a government should allow an investigation into a politician's assets.
The CBI, a type of police, wanted to investigate, but the state government stopped them.
Now, the Supreme Court is deciding if that was allowed.
A judge will hear arguments from the CBI, a politician, and others.
The politician is accused of having more money than he should based on his income.
The case started when the police thought something was amiss.
The Supreme Court will hear pleas about the Karnataka government's decision to stop a CBI investigation.
Justice Surya Kant will lead the bench for the hearing.
The CBI and BJP MLA Basanagouda R. Patil Yatnal have filed pleas in the case.
The case involves a disproportionate assets (DA) investigation against D.K. Shivakumar.
