Summary
- The Supreme Court has stayed the investigation into the FIR against former Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and others in the CMRL-Exalogic case for seven days.
- This decision allows the petitioners, including Vijayan's daughter Veena T and son-in-law P A Mohamed Riyas, to challenge a Kerala High Court order that directed the registration of the FIR.
- The Supreme Court clarified that while the FIR remains, no further investigation will proceed until the appellate issues are addressed.
- This ruling provides a crucial opportunity for the petitioners to contest the legal basis of the investigation without quashing the FIR itself.
