Court clears Chandy in palm oil import case

The Kerala High Court yesterday dismissed petitions of opposition leader V S Achuthanandan and former bureaucrat Alphons Kannanthanam to against Chief Minister Oommen Chandy in the 1992 palm oil import case.

Upholding the trial court decision, the high court also wondered if the petitioners were trying to delay the trial and making political capital out of it. The court also observed that the petitioners did not approach any court after it was taken up for trial in 2004.




Justice S S Sateeshchandran, in a 62-page judgment, also asked the Vigilance and Anti-

Corruption Bureau (VACB) court, Thrissur, to take steps to speed up the trial.

The state imported 15,000 tonnes of palmolein oil through the Malaysia-based Power and Energy Limited in 1991-92. The government reportedly lost Rs23.2mn in the deal which violated the guidelines of the State Trading Corporation.
