The Kerala High Court has reserved its order in a case involving the sanction required to prosecute accused persons in the SNDP microfinance scam. Justice A. Badharudeen said a legal issue remained to be considered, according to The Hindu.
The issue concerns whether prosecution sanction was required before proceedings could be brought against the accused. The state government told the court that such sanction was not necessary to prosecute the accused in the matter. The judge noted the government’s position while recording that the legal question still required consideration.
The court has reserved its order, meaning the decision was not issued in the supplied report. No date for the order was provided. The available material does not set out the allegations in the case, identify the accused or state the prosecution’s response.
It is limited to the court’s consideration of the sanction issue and the government’s position on it.
