SC to hear petitions in SNC-Lavalin case on Wednesday

KOCHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday will consider the appeal filed by CBI challenging the acquittal of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and two others in the alleged multi-crore SNC-Lavalin scam.
The court has also listed the Special Leave Petitions filed by the accused — K G Rajasekharan Nai, R Sivadasan and Kasthuri Ranga Iyer, former chief accounts officer, former chairman and the then chief engineer, respectively, of KSEB — challenging the Kerala High Court order directing them to face trial to find out whether they had made any gains, or whether they had their own interest or unholy nexus with SNC-Lavalin to cause unlawful gains for the company.
