Court says trial can start after splitting charge sheet in Lavalin case

KOCHI: The Kerala High Court directed to start the trial after splitting the charge sheet in the SNC Lavalin case. The court order came after considering the plea of CPM state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan, accused in the case.

The CBI court considering the case had earlier directed that Pinarayi has no right to seek an early trial. Pinarayi later approached the Kerala High Court.

The court had ordered to start the trial of Lavalin Company and company vice president Claus Trendel, the sixth and ninth accused, separately.  Even though summons was sent to these accused, it had returned back.
