Supreme Court judge C.T. Ravikumar recused himself from hearing the appeals against the discharge of Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in the SNC-Lavalin corruption case.
Separate appeals were filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and some of the accused, who were not discharged, in 2017. They have remained pending in the apex court. The appeals have seen repeated adjournments since January 2018.
On Monday, Justice Ravikumar, who is the associate judge accompanying Justice M.R. Shah on the Bench, said he had passed an order in the case during his tenure at the Kerala High Court.
