Kochi: The High Court on Tuesday rejected a CBI plea urging urgent hearing of its case against LIFE Mission. There needs to be filed a counter-affidavit and Additional Solicitor General’s appearance in the case, argued Adv Arvinkashan for CBI.
LIFE Mission brushed aside that demand saying, in a case where court issued stay on 13th October, CBI followed it up with an immediate petition on 15th with sole purpose to draw media attention. The whole exercise is aimed to build malicious propaganda around government’s effort, the lawyer representing LIFE said.
After the hearing, the court ruled that, the CBI may file a fresh petition, if it wishes to, matching time convenient to the Additional Solicitor General.
