THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Court accepted the CBI report acquitting former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy in the solar case. The report was accepted by the Thiruvananthapuram CJM Court. The petition of the complainant not to accept the report was also rejected.
Court stopped all further proceedings as Oommen Chandy has passed. CBI filed a report in the Thiruvananthapuram CJM Court showing that the complaint that Oommen Chandy had abused the complainant at Cliff House was untrue.
The solar case, which gripped Kerala politics and especially Congress for nine years, became irrelevant after CBI gave a clean chit to former chief minister Oommen Chandy. CPM had used the solar controversy against Congress in the last two assembly elections. With the closure of the court case, the Kerala Police, Crime Branch and CBI investigations have come to an end.
