Supreme Court to review Karnataka High Court's KCOCA ruling.

The Supreme Court will review a decision by the Karnataka High Court that interpreted the state's anti-organized crime law, which benefited B. A. Basavaraja, a BJP MLA. The court directed lower courts not to consider the High Court's December 2025 ruling as binding precedent, while the State argued that the interpretation could render special laws like KCOCA and MCOCA obsolete. The case concerns the murder of Shivaprakash and involves multiple accused, with crucial evidence still being collected.
