CMRL payoff case: Setback for Pinarayi Vijayan, kin as Kerala HC dismisses pleas to appeal against FIR order
Kerala's High Court rejected the appeals of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, his daughter T. Veena and minister Mohamed Riyas seeking to challenge a lower court's order to register a First Information Report in the CMRL payoff case. The petitioners argued they were not heard before the single judge issued the October 9 direction. The court's dismissal leaves the FIR standing.
