Division bench stays two remarks against CM

KOCHI: In a temporary relief to the chief minister, the division bench of the Kerala High Court stayed two sentences of the remarks made by the single bench against Oommen Chandy in connection with the land fraud case. However, the bench did not stay other observations of the 70th paragraph against the chief minister and his office. Meantime, the court strictly directed that single bench’s criticism should not affect the CBI probe at all.

The division bench comprising of Justice K M Joseph and Jayashankar Nambiar stayed the remarks that the chief minister is answerable to the doubts regarding the functioning of his own office and personal staff and the CM was not prudent and responsible in appointing persons of integrity in his office.
