Monthly payoff case: No illegal things done, documents cannot be handed over, says CMRL 

NEW DELHI: The Cochin Minerals and Rutile Limited (CMRL) said that they cannot hand over the documents in the monthly payoff case. CMRL has demanded that they have not done anything illegal and that the case should not be extended. The final hearing in the plea filed by CMRL against Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) is on December 4. SFIO has been given 10 days to file a reply affidavit in the case.

Veena Vijayan's Exalogic-CMRL transaction case was postponed to December 4 as per Centre’s request. It will be considered as one of the first ten cases in the list next time. It will be considered on that day, including the application filed by Shaun George to join the case.

The Income Tax Settlement Board found that Pinarayi Vijayan's daughter Veena Vijayan and her software firm Exalogic were paid Rs one crore 72 lakh for services that CMRL did not provide. It has also been found that money was given to Veena in the form of a loan.
