Hello
George alleges that R Mohan, who gave a clean chit to Vijayan in the SNC Lavalin case, received the position as a reward.
The case pertains to loss of Rs 374 crore in the Kerala State Electricity Board's (KSEB) contract with the Canadian-based SNC Lavalin.
A division bench comprising Justice Surya Kant and Justice Dipankar Dutta will consider the case which was adjourned 33 times.
Justcice C T Ravikumar recused himself from the case as he was a part of the hearing of the case in the High Court.
The corruption case that has been adjourned over 30 times involves Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan.
As Chief Justice UU Lalit has very few working days left before his retirement on November 8, the case was adjourned to a date six weeks later.
The intervention came after the lawyer pointed out that the case was constantly being moved.
Deferring the petition by three weeks, High Court Judge Justice K Haripal awarded ED time to file a counter affidavit.
The case relates to the alleged corruption in a contract awarded by the state government to Canadian company SNC Lavalin in 1995 for the renovation and modernisation of three hydroelectric projects in Idukki.
