HC to examine SNC Lavlin case next Monday

Kochi: The High Court will examine the CBI report in the SNC Lavlin case which had named CPI party state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan as the ninth accused next Monday. As some of the accused are social activists or former government servants, the prosecution will file the chargesheet only after getting the proper sanction from the Governor.

The Advocate General of People's Council for Civil Rights cited a few examples where the Supreme Court had earlier filed chargesheets without seeking any prior permission.

Justice K B Koshi and Justice V Giri had been entrusted with the charge of probing the case.

The CBI has forwarded the initial investigation reports to the High Court the other day.
