Cannot intervene in bar case now, says HC

KOCHI: The Kerala High Court Monday made it clear that they cannot intervene in the bar bribery case now. A division bench led by Chief Justice Ashok Bhushan and Justice A M Shefeeq Monday said it is not appropriate to intervene in the case now as further probe is on.

The court said this while considering a plea seeking to probe the allegation levelled against Excise Minister K Babu. The court said the plaintiff can approach the vigilance court for further probe against the minister.  

The allegation against Babu was that he accepted a bribe of Rs 10 crore for reducing the bar license fee from 25 lakh to 23 lakh.
