What happened
The Kerala High Court, presided over by Justice A. Badharudeen, ordered the registration of an FIR and a full investigation into alleged financial dealings. This action allows the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau Special Investigation Team to register a case against Pinarayi Vijayan, his son-in-law P.A. Mohammed Riyas, and his daughter Veena, following findings by the Enforcement Directorate.

Why it matters
The court's ruling follows the Enforcement Directorate reporting material that indicated possible offenses under the Prevention of Corruption Act. The decision challenges the state government's previous argument that a corruption case could not be registered solely based on diary entries.
An investigation has been launched into bribery allegations concerning a state project in Kerala.
