Kochi: The Kerala High Court today directed its vigilance registrar to probe into the mysterious disappearance of some files of a controversial case from its premises
Justice B Sudheendra Kumar ordered the probe taking serious note of the security breach in its premises leading to the disappearance of files.
The security of the high court was at stake and the situation was alarming, said Justice Kumar while ordering the probe.
The court had earlier found that some files related to the Malabar Cement corruption case had gone missing.
The files were part of a 2015 petition, seeking a CBI probe into some alleged instances of corruption in Malabar Cements Limited.
The judge directed the high court’s vigilance registrar to investigate the matter and said the remaining documents should be kept in the custody of the state’s chief justice.
