The Kerala High Court on Friday adjourned to November 9 the hearing on a revision petition filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) challenging the Thiruvananthapuram CBI Special Court verdict discharging Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and six others from the SNC-Lavalin corruption case.
The CBI case was that Mr. Vijayan, while serving as Electricity Minister from May 1996 to October 1998, along with the other accused, hatched a criminal conspiracy to award the supply contract for the renovation and modernisation of the Pallivasal, Sengulam, and Panniar hydroelectric projects to SNC-Lavalin at an exorbitant rate. — Special Correspondent
