Vigilance to file FIR against Pinarayi, others in CMRL-Exalogic pay-off case: Keralam Home Minister Chennithala
Ramesh Chennithala says that the State government will honour the Kerala High Court’s recent directive
The Home Minister of Kerala, Ramesh Chennithala, has announced that the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) will register a first information report (FIR) against Pinarayi Vijayan, the Leader of the Opposition in the Keralam Assembly, along with others in the CMRL-Exalogic pay-off case. This decision comes following a directive from the Kerala High Court.
Chennithala emphasized that the government would respect the court's order and not appeal against it. He also noted that the government's initial request for a preliminary inquiry was based on legal advice, but the court has ruled that such an inquiry was unnecessary. The High Court's verdict has refuted the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)]'s claim that the case would not stand in any court.
