I-T Department moves HC questioning discharge of three cases against DKShi

Bengaluru: The I-T Department has filed criminal revision petitions before the Karnataka High Court questioning the discharge of all three cases registered by the I-T Department on charges of evasion of tax and destroying of evidence against Water Resources Minister D K Shivakumar.

Reportedly, the I-T Department has filed three separate criminal revision petitions against the judgment dated February 28, 2019, passed by the special court, exclusively set up to try cases against MLAs and MPs in Karnataka, on the ground that interference of the special court was unwarranted.

It is gathered that three separate cases had been filed against Shivakumar by the IT officials for alleged evasion of tax and destroying of evidence by tearing out a sheet when I-T sleuths raided the room at a resort where he was staying.
