Kerala HC order against former CM Pinarayi Vijayan and others raises a larger question of natural justice, say legal experts
Legal experts say a Kerala High Court order against former chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Riyas and Veena may breach natural justice because they were not given a hearing. They note the decision could be appealed in the High Court or Supreme Court and point out that a single‑judge order seems to bypass a law requiring competent‑authority approval for inquiries into public officials.
