Kerala High Court Stays FIR Registration Against Ex-CM Pinarayi Vijayan and Family
The Kerala High Court has temporarily stayed the registration of FIRs and investigations against former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, his daughter Veena T, and son-in-law P A Mohamed Riyas in the alleged CMRL bribery case. The stay follows appeals against a single judge's order directing FIR registration based on an Enforcement Directorate report. The court will hear the matter in detail after four weeks. Legal representatives argued that the information did not disclose a cognizable offence and raised procedural concerns about the FIR's registration.
