NEW DELHI: The Lavalin case will come before the Supreme Court for the 29th time on Tuesday. A bench comprising justices Suryakant, Dipankar Dutta and Ujjal Bhuyan will conduct the hearing as controversy looms over the interminable legal tangle surrounding the case.

During the last hearing on September 12th, the CBI sought more time to present its arguments in precision. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, former Energy Secretary K. Mohanachandran, and former joint secretary A. Francis were earlier acquitted by the High Court but CBI moved SC challenging the HC decision.

Former KSEB officials R. Sivadas, Kasthuriranga Iyer, and K.G. Rajasekaran have also filed petitions seeking the removal of their names from the accused list.
