The petitioner, Kadakampally Manoj, had initially approached the Courtroom alleging massive scale malpractice, corruption and misuse of funds within the procurement of uncooked cashew by the KSCDC. Appearing on his plea, the Courtroom had ordered a CBI investigation in 2015.
The CBI had sought sanction to prosecute former KSCDC chairman, R Chandrasekharan and former managing director KA Ratheesh amongst others, within the corruption case.
It was alleged that the officers entered right into a legal conspiracy with one Jaimon Joseph and dishonestly awarded contracts to his agency leading to lack of a number of crores to the cashew company.
After the State denied sanction, contempt of courtroom petition was filed by Manoj. The Courtroom then quashed the State choice and directed it to rethink the CBI’s request
Nonetheless, the State as soon as once more denied sanction, the third such occasion, prompting the Courtroom to intervene as we speak to quash the choice and order the private look of the principal secretary
 to appear in person before the Court.){kind=link}
