New Delhi, Oct 6 (PTI) The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed Congress MLA Mathew Kuzhalnadan’s plea seeking a probe against Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and his daughter, Veena Vijayan, in connection with alleged financial dealings involving the Cochin Minerals and Rutile Limited (CMRL), saying political battles should be fought before electorates.
The Kerala High Court, on March 28, dismissed Kuzhalnadan’s plea seeking a probe against the chief minister over the alleged financial transactions between his daughter’s now-defunct IT firm and the CMRL, a private mining company.
