What happened
The Supreme Court granted a stay on the investigation against Pinarayi Vijayan concerning the Cochin Minerals and Rutile Limited case. This follows a controversy where the government was criticized for ordering a preliminary inquiry instead of immediately registering a First Information Report (FIR) against Pinarayi Vijayan, T. Veena, and P. A. Mohammed Riyas in connection with the CMRL–Exalogic case. The Court’s order temporarily stayed the investigation and remitted the case to the Kerala High Court.
