(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) Karnataka's Chief Minister Siddaramaiah affirmed every individual's right to challenge government decisions in court while emphasising that the ultimate verdict rests with the judiciary. He made these statements during a conversation with reporters following the inauguration of Municipal-2023 on Tuesday at the Palace Grounds in the city.
Responding to MLA Basan Gowda Patil Yatnal's move to approach the High Court regarding the revocation of permission for a CBI investigation against DK Shivakumar, the CM expressed the view that the permission granted for the investigation against Shivakumar was unlawful and subsequently ordered by the BJP government. He clarified the appointment of chairmanship in corporation boards, stating that Home Minister G Parameshwar's discontent stemmed from the absence of consultation regarding the corporation board appointments.
