Kerala HC orders FIR against Pinarayi Vijayan and kin in CMRL case

The Kerala High Court directed the registration of an FIR incorporating corruption offenses against former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, his daughter T. Veena, and son-in-law P.A. Mohamed Riyas.

Justice A. Badharudeen instructed the Enforcement Directorate to forward all necessary documents to the Director of the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau.

The court held that information furnished by the ED disclosed cognizable offenses under the Prevention of Corruption Act, making a preliminary inquiry unnecessary.
