Home Minister A.K. Chennithala stated on Monday that a Kerala High Court directive in the CMRL pay-off case does not hamper the government's investigative efforts, asserting that the administration will carefully review the order before proceeding. Chennithala emphasized that the UDF government has consistently acted on legal counsel throughout the inquiry, ensuring all steps comply with established procedures. The minister's remarks came amid speculation about potential obstacles posed by the court's latest directive to the ongoing investigation. Chennithala underscored the government's commitment to pursuing the matter through proper legal channels while respecting judicial directives. The Home Minister's statement suggests the administration views the High Court order as a procedural guideline rather than a substantive impediment to its investigative agenda.
