SNC-Lavalin graft case: Top court to hear CBI appeal against Pinarayi Vijayan’s discharge
The Supreme Court will on Wednesday hear the CBI’s appeal challenging the Kerala High Court’s 2017 order upholding Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s discharge in the multi-crore SNC-Lavalin graft case.
The plea, along with petitions by some of the other accused challenging the HC direction asking them to face trial, has been listed before a bench headed by Justice U U Lalit.
Petitions arising out of the SNC-Lavalin case, filed in 2017, were initially listed before a bench headed by the then Chief Justice. Later, the CBI also filed an appeal and all matters came to be listed before a bench headed by Justice N V Ramana.
