Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 12 : The Kerala High Court on Tuesday dismissed pleas filed by the state government in the Life Mission scam and said that an ongoing CBI probe should continue into the case involving high government officers and contractors.
The case involves alleged violation of foreign contribution regulations in the Kerala government s flagship Life Mission project intended to provide homes for the poor who lost their homes during the devastating floods in 2018.
Kerala government counsel and Supreme Court s Senior Advocate KK Vishwanathan argued in the court of Justice P Somarajan that a CBI probe could not be carried out in the case as statutory bodies are exempted from the provisions of Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act.
