Supreme Court quashed money laundering case against Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivakumar.
The Supreme Court has quashed a money laundering case against Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar. Shivakumar challenged a 2019 Karnataka High Court order that rejected his plea for quashing summons issued by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to appear for an investigation. The ED had issued the summons in February 2019 following an Income Tax complaint from 2017. The petitioner argued that the proceedings were initiated without jurisdiction and without a conspiracy for commission of any "Scheduled Offence" under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002.
