Kerala High Court Stays FIRs Against Pinarayi Vijayan and Family in CMRL Case
The Kerala High Court has temporarily stayed FIRs and investigations against former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, his daughter Veena T, and her husband P A Mohamed Riyas in the alleged CMRL bribery case. The court admitted their appeals and will hear the matter after four weeks. The CPI(M) welcomed the stay, calling the case fabricated, while the BJP criticized the decision as unfortunate. Legal representatives argued the FIR lacked a cognizable offence and challenged the procedural approach taken by the petitioner.
