Hello
Saritha, who is suffering from a serious physical ailment, is currently under treatment at the Sree Chitra Institute for Medical Sciences & Technology here.
In November, the Supreme Court had dismissed the same plea when S A Bobde was the Chief Justice. The SC then pointed out that Saritha's advocate had repeatedly failed to be present in the court.
The Crime Branch registered a case against driver Vinu Kumar after conducting a preliminary probe lasting four months.
He called for a serious investigation into the matter and said one cannot run forever from such accusations.
Saritha S Nair had earlier approached the lower court for a copy of Swapna's confidential statement.
Saritha had claimed earlier that Swapna Suresh had told her in prison that Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan was not a party in the gold smuggling case.
ED’s move is in view of the latest revelations in the money-laundering case related to gold smuggling.
The solar scam accused sought a copy of Swapna's 164 statement, which the court dismissed on Saturday.
The police have sought legal opinion on whether to arraign Suresh's controversial acquaintance Shaj Kiran as an accused.
The sub-court had ordered Achuthanandan to pay Rs 10.10 lakh in damages, along with the interest, to former CM Oommen Chandy in the case.
