Summary
- The Kerala High Court has ordered the State Police to register a First Information Report (FIR) against former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in the CMRL-Exalogic corruption case.
- Justice A Badharudeen's ruling followed a writ petition by advocate KM Shajahan, challenging the decision to conduct only a preliminary enquiry instead of filing a criminal case.
- Allegations involve financial transactions between Cochin Minerals and Rutile Limited and Exalogic Solutions, previously owned by Vijayan's daughter, Veena Thaikkandiyil.
- This directive raises significant questions about the investigation's scope and could lead to further scrutiny of high-profile figures involved.
