Kerala High Court Reserves Order on FIR Plea Against Pinarayi Vijayan and Others
The Kerala High Court has reserved its order on a plea seeking registration of an FIR against Leader of Opposition Pinarayi Vijayan, his daughter Veena Vijayan, and CPI(M) MLA PA Mohammed Riyas in the CMRL-Exalogic case. The petitioner argues that the Enforcement Directorate's evidence warrants immediate FIR registration under the Prevention of Corruption Act, while the state contends a preliminary inquiry is legally required before filing an FIR. The court will consider whether the state police can delay action despite the ED's communication.
