Kochi (Kerala) [India], December 17 (ANI): Kerala High Court on Thursday extended till December 21, the stay on CBI probe against functionaries of the Kerala Life Mission program of the local self-government department in the Life Mission scam case for supposed foreign currency regulation law violations.
The matter will be heard on the same day.
Life Mission's counsel KV Vishwanathan said, "The project and contributions received were outside the purview of the Foreign Contributions Regulation Act (FCRA) since contracts were between Red Crescent and building contractors. The morale of officers could be sapped by the CBI's investigation."
