Kochi: The Kerala High Court today closed the proceedings on a petition seeking a High Court-monitored probe into the bar bribery case allegedly involving State Finance Minister KM Mani.
When the matter was taken up, Advocate General KP Dandapani informed the court that the Kerala Vigilance and Anti-corruption Bureau, which probed the case, has filed a final report before the Vigilance Court, Thiruvananthapuram.
Considering this aspect, Justice Alexander Thomas said there is no scope for considering the prayers made in the petition.
