Kerala High Court to review petition against Lok Ayukta amendment ordinance
The High Court will weigh a challenge to the politically contentious Kerala Lok Ayukta amendment ordinance promulgated recently by the State government.
The Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) had portrayed the executive order as a sly attempt by the government to subvert the anti-corruption powers of the ombudsman to save Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan from prosecution in a slew of corruption cases.
