Court of Appeal reserves judgment in glove company defamation case
A Hong Kong company and its director are appealing a High Court ruling that they defamed Smart Glove International and its Singapore associate by making allegations of tax evasion.
The Supreme Court has overturned a Kerala High Court decision in the Cochin Minerals and Rutile Limited (CMRL)-Exalogic payoff case, halting the investigation into a First Information Report (FIR) against ex-Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, his daughter T. Veena, and son-in-law P.A. Mohamed Riyas for seven days. Allegedly accused by the Single Judge of the Kerala High Court under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, the trio's appeal against the FIR has been permitted.
The Supreme Court, in a clarification, stated that it had not made any observations on the merits of the FIR or offered any opinion on the validity of the subsequent Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR).
