Earlier in the day, the high court heard the regular bail plea filed by Shivakumar. During the course of hearing, Shivakumar's legal team led by senor advocate Siddharth Luthra argued that the case against their client is a result of political rivalry. The court was also appraised of the medical condition of Shivakumar. His counsel told the court that the former leader underwent a surgery in last month and is in custody for more than a month.

Justice Suresh Kumar Kait, who was hearing the bail plea, has now posted the matter for October 17. On the next date of hearing, the probe agency will put forth its stand.

Meanwhile, during a separate hearing in the Rouse Avenue Court, Shivakumar was produced before the court of Special CBI Judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar. Shivakumar, who was arrested on September 3, in connection with a money laundering case is still in judicial custody more than a month after his arrest. His judicial custody was extended till October 25 on Monday

Shivakumar is a former Water Resources and Power Minister of Karnataka. He is also seen as crucial to the Congress party in the state. An I-T raid at his New Delhi apartment on August 2, 2017, led to the seizure of unaccounted cash amounting to Rs 8.83 crore.

Hassan, Feb 9: Accusing the Centre for treating Karnataka as its enemy Former Minister and Congress leader UT Khader on Saturday said that the state did not get support from the Centre on the Mahadayi issue and flood relief and even the Union Budget.

Speaking to the media here, he said that the state has elected 25 BJP Lok Sabha members. Three from the state were Ministers in the Union Cabinet and another MP has been appointed president of the party’s state unit.

'None of them have spoken about the injustice done to the state in the budget. The budget document announced Rs 18,600 crore for the suburban railway in Bengaluru. But, ultimately the amount earmarked for the project is only Rs 1 crore. How can any BJP leader justify this?', the Congress leader wondered.
