SNC-Lavalin case to be heard in SC today
New Delhi: The Supreme Court is likely to hear CPI(M) State secretary Pinarayi Vijayan's petition on Monday. It challenges the Kerala governor's order for the CBI to prosecute him for certain alleged offences in the SNC-Lavalin case.

Vijayan is accused of wrongfully awarding a contract to the Canadian company for the renovation of some power plants when he was electricity minister in the state cabinet in 1997.

He said that despite the state cabinet's decision not to prosecute him, the governor had granted permission for prosecution.
