Kochi: The Kerala High Court on Thursday accepted the revision petition filed by the complainant against the order of the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court which accepted the final report submitted by the CBI and acquitted Congress leader K C Venugopal in the solar case.

Justice C S Dias directed that notices be served to Venugopal, the CBI and the state government. Former Madras High Court judge and Supreme Court lawyer S Nagamuthu appeared for the complainant.
