Kerala High Court Division Bench of Justices Satish Ninan and P Krishna Kumar posts the CMRL-Exalogic appeals for hearing on Monday
23 October 2026
Appeals by former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, T Veena and MLA Mohammed Riyas were mentioned before a Division Bench of the Kerala High Court.
The Bench of Justice Satish Ninan and Justice P Krishna Kumar posted the matter for hearing on Monday.
The appeals challenge a Single Bench order directing the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau to register a first information report in the CMRL-Exalogic matter, including offences under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
The Single Bench had also set aside the state order constituting a Special Investigation Team for a preliminary inquiry.
On 21 October the Supreme Court set aside an earlier Division Bench decision that had denied the three leave to appeal, and remanded the matter to the High Court.
In plain words
FIR First Information Report — The first written record a police force makes of information about a cognisable offence.
Remand Remand — Sending a case back to a lower court for fresh consideration.
