High Court has permitted the Special PMLA Court To look into the materials collected by Crime Branch against ED
While quashing the two FIRs filed against the Enforcement Directorate alleging that gold smuggling accused Swapna Suresh and Sandeep Nair were coerced by officials of the agency into implicating the Chief Minister and others, the Kerala High Court emphasized that the Crime Branch ought to have approached the PMLA Special Court having jurisdiction. ..the remedy of the aggrieved persons was to approach the Special Court.. , Justice VG Arun ruled.
Since the offence of creation of false evidence was related to a proceeding in a court (as the Special Court had taken cognizance of ED s final report), the police could not have registered FIR due to the bar under Section 195(1)(b)(i) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Only the Court which is seized of the matter can act with respect to such allegations, as per the procedure under Section 340 CrPC.

‘Threat is far from over and one should follow all protocols’
The steep decline in COVID-19 cases seems to have developed a sense of complacency among people. One can find people moving in public places without masks, without any care for their own safety as also that of others. They seem to be under the impression that the pandemic threat has gone.
Medical experts, however, warn that the threat is far from over and advise wearing masks, observing social distance and other COVID-19 protocols for at least three more months. “I have seen about 75% of visitors on Beach Road are not wearing masks, while 15% are wearing it improperly on their necks and only 10% are wearing them correctly,” says P.V. Sudhakar, Principal, Andhra Medical College.
