In the affidavit, Veena stated that she is being accused because she is the daughter of the Chief Minister and that the transactions between her company and CMRL are “transparent.”
The accused are Deepak Raju (30) and Deekshitha (22).
Despite making it clear that Exalogic delivered no tangible services, the SFIO report remains silent on why CMRL handed money to Veena's company.
The High Court has also directed the Interim Board of Settlement to submit, in a sealed cover, the names of individuals mentioned in its findings related to Income Tax proceedings against CMRL.
'It is just a political conspiracy and nothing else,' CPM state secretary M V Govindan said on Friday.
The SFIO had on Thursday filed a prosecution complaint in the CMRL bribery case in front of the Economic Offences Court, Kochi.
Satheesan pointed out that the CMRL bribery scam is not a political case like the SNC-Lavalin case or the Thiruvananthapuram gold smuggling case.
Veena and her company have been charged with section 447 of the Companies Act in the 160-page SFIO chargesheet.
Kerala BJP leader Shaun George, who is a party in the case, welcomed the court’s decision, stating that the SFIO can now proceed unhindered.
The submission was made during a hearing on a petition challenging the SFIO probe into financial dealings between CMRL and Exalogic.
