Twist in BJP 40% Commission Allegation Case: High Court Issues Stay

In a major development, the Karnataka High Court on Friday stayed proceedings against Congress and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar in a defamation case related to the "40% commission" allegation made against the BJP-led government. The case was filed after the Congress government had issued advertisements on the front pages of major newspapers accusing the BJP of corruption, which allegedly harmed the party’s reputation.
